We are using a new ‘reverse matching’ application strategy. We began by holding a workshop to help our seniors enter their information to create an attractive student profile, and then once a month many universities make offers of admission, often with scholarships, to students based simply on their profile. The ‘reverse matching’ aspect comes from the fact that it is the universities who approach students with offers instead of the students having to apply first. We believe this will become a valuable new option for university applications and are excited to try this for our seniors.
This is another example of where we are simply trying to provide as many global options as possible for our St. Paul Students after they graduate.
After only 2 months of offers, St. Paul students have already received 300 total admissions offers along with a total of $24.4m in scholarships offered over the course of 4 years at university.
