Every applicant who reaches your portal is carrying questions they may never voice. The ones they cannot answer quickly become reasons to stop. So answer them before they are asked, and show each applicant only what is relevant to them, not everything you offer to everyone. Clarity at the first visit matters as much for enrolment as the outreach that follows. In a DreamApply portal, citizenship-aware logic means each applicant sees only the deadlines, fees and information that apply to them, so the first visit gives signal instead of noise.

At the University of Pécs, ten faculties used to run like 11 separate universities. One shared admissions platform from DreamApply brought them to the same table. "It has an unexpected way of bringing people together," says Péter Árvai. 📷 Full interview: youtube.com/watch?v=8KgRKCGE… #HigherEd #Admissions #Software #Education

The campaign is not where applicants decide. The process is. Akos Kiraly at SRH Higher Education: admissions sits at the lower funnel of every university's sales funnel. The applicant never experiences two departments. They experience one institution. Don't let marketing propose what admissions can't close. dreamapply.com/blog/student-… #Admissions #StudentRecruitment #HigherEducation

Admissions evaluation shouldn't feel like a logistical race against the calendar. 😮‍💨 When your selection criteria are fragmented across separate spreadsheets and email threads, your committee spends more time chasing consensus than evaluating talent. Principle #06 is simple: Clear rules protect your team’s time and secure an objective review process from day one. Implementing structured, shared score sheets is one of the foundational reasons DreamApply users see an average 40% reduction in application processing time. It is the operational shift that allows teams to clear their evaluation backlog long before Friday afternoon.

When an admissions team is buried under manual tasks, two things suffer: evaluation depth and the overall student experience. Principle #05 reminds us that efficiency isn't just about speed; it's about preserving your team's energy for the human moments that matter in admissions. If your team is spending weeks on tasks that could take hours, it might be time to rethink the process.

The measurements with the most untapped opportunity are usually the hardest to produce. Education and admissions are no exception. 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 #𝟬𝟰: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱, 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱. End-to-end measurement turns guesses into decisions. The teams that hold the whole applicant journey in one record are the ones that get sharper every year. Since 2011, DreamApply has evolved with this principle in mind. Its measurement layer spans every step of admissions, so one applicant record carries from first click to enrolled student. Institutions learn which channels actually deliver, not just which ones look busy.

Applicants form decisions about institutions long before any official one arrives. Your admissions process is the institution's resume. How University of Szeged unified admissions across 12 faculties: dreamapply.com/case-studies/… #InternationalEducation #UniversityAdmissions

Admissions is the lower funnel of every university's sales process. That is the case Akos Kiraly, Head of Sales Strategy at SRH Higher Education, makes on EdTech and Pancakes. The institutions seeing it this way are getting real gains in conversion, brand consistency, and applicant experience.

International admissions are won and lost in the days between a visit to your admissions portal and a decision. Inside that wait, the applicant is deciding too.

They tend to commit to the institution that responds first with both speed and structure. Dr. Bert Wolfs Wolfs, Academic Dean of SBS Swiss Business School (running international admissions on DreamApply) called it "educational shopping" on our podcast: "Today, students are doing what I call educational shopping. They apply in different institutions, in different countries, eventually to see who gives them the best offer, and in a relatively short period of time." Hear why Dr. Wolfs says admissions can't take months anymore: dreamapply.com/blog/admissio… #HigherEducation #Admissions #StudentRecruitment

Your relationship with an applicant starts at the first click. The portal speaks on behalf of the institution before the admissions team reads the file.

Our latest guest on EdTech & Pancakes is Akos Kiraly, Prokurist and Head of Sales Strategy at SRH Higher Education, one of the leading providers of private higher education in Germany and the Netherlands, serving over 23,000 students across five universities. SRH has been running admissions on DreamApply for several years. We discuss how the new generation of applicants changed faster than admissions. Akos shares how Germany is becoming one of the most chosen study destinations in the world, and what lessons educational institutions can take from this to delight their applicants from the first point of contact. Akos says word of mouth in higher education does not start when a student is enrolled. It starts during application. Even the applicants you say no to are part of it.

How often do you look at your admissions data? Viktória Kulman-Bundy, International Student Recruitment Specialist at Corvinus, checks her dashboard a few times a week, looking for shifts in regions, submission patterns and how long applicants take to move through each stage. The data is always there. The question is how visible it is to your team, and how easy it is to turn it into decisions.
