Penn's highly successful admissions process is being updated with new procedures
and powerful technologies which will help raise Penn's renowned responsiveness
to the next level. The planned changes will help Admissions staff manage an
increasing volume of applications while facilitating what they do best: identifying
and connecting with prospective students, and bringing together the best entering
class each year for Penn.
 |
Personalized Outreach
A new, personalized, self-service gateway will help Admissions staff
build relationships and cultivate student interest in Penn. It will aid
in identifying the specific academic and extracurricular pursuits that
engage and inspire each individual student, connecting prospective applicants
to resources at Penn based upon their particular interests. |
 |
Superior Customer Service
For prospective students, the gateway will provide timely, targeted information
about Penn programs and the admissions process. Prospective students will
be able to receive calendar reminders and informative guidance, as well
as status updates on receipt of application components, from essays to
recommendations to test scores. |

Streamlined Processes
To meet the heightened demands placed upon the Admissions Office by an
ever-increasing applicant pool, the technical enhancements will foster
gains in productivity by enabling faster gathering and processing of student
information. Automated tools will be provided for managing communications
with targeted groups, and the Admissions Office will be able to manage
contacts and scheduling for recruitment travel and live events with greater
flexibility and ease. |
 |
Real-time Information
The Undergraduate Admissions Office will have access to the critical,
up-to-the-minute workflow and statistical information needed during periods
of peak activity in the admissions cycle, and admissions officers will
have easy access to information related to demographics of prospective
students. Undergraduate Admissions will also have the ability to provide
timely communications to Schools and Centers. |
