Success Stories in Higher Education
Challenge: Overwhelming Admissions Processing
Client: A mid-sized private university with a growing national reputation, receiving over 20,000 applications annually. Their in-house team of 15 was struggling to keep up during the peak season from November to March, leading to processing delays, staff burnout, and a risk of losing top applicants to more responsive competitors.
Our Solution: We deployed a dedicated team of 25 trained agents to handle application data entry, document verification (transcripts, test scores), and initial completeness checks. The team operated 24/6, clearing backlogs overnight and ensuring a 24-hour processing turnaround time. We integrated directly and securely with their Slate CRM, providing real-time updates.
