Admissions teams track everything—CRMs, marketing reports, financial aid data, application trends. But here’s the problem: most of it isn’t driving decisions.

Schools are flooded with data, but how much of it actually shapes strategy? How much of it is just taking up space in dashboards and reports?

In this episode, we break down:

• How to instantly tell if a data point is useful or just noise

• Why some of the most commonly tracked admissions metrics are a waste of time
• Where your most valuable underutilized data is hiding—and how to start using it

If your reports aren’t changing how you recruit and enroll students, you’re not doing analytics—you’re just collecting numbers.

🎧 Listen now to start tracking what actually matters.
