The Plan Impact report tracks impact on college plans, including student engagement, list quality, early admission, and wasted motion.

ENGAGEMENT SUMMARY: This section highlights findings gathered from the current calendar year and the previous calendar year. This includes a high-level statistical breakdown of provisioned student accounts, student-powered accounts, counselor-powered accounts, active accounts, and engagement rates. As a result, this data can be useful in understanding total plan iterations, average plan iterations per student, active accounts within the month, as well as plan interactions within the month. 

• Intended Uses:  
  • Help counselors understand student engagement.
  • Get a bird’s eye view of student engagement, and month over month trends for current and previous years.

LIST QUALITY SUMMARY: This section highlights findings gathered from the current calendar year and the previous year. This includes a high-level statistical breakdown of initial list needing improvement, an initial list too aggressive, average initial list grade, average latest list grade, initial list B- or better, latest list B- or better, average initial list size, and average latest list size. As a result, this data can be useful in understanding the statistical impact of the mix of schools on a student’s list.

• Intended Uses: 
  • It provides insight into understanding the statistical impact of the mix of schools on a student’s list.
  • Help counselors understand the statistics of how list quality grades impact the unlikelies, reaches, targets, and likelies of a student being accepted into a college.
  • Get a bird’s eye view of list quality and, month over month trends for current and previous year.

EARLY ADMISSION SUMMARY: This section highlights findings gathered from the current calendar year and the previous calendar year. This includes a high-level statistical breakdown of plans with early opportunities identified, average early opportunities identified, and average early admission boost. As a result, this data can be useful in understanding the early admission statistics and how planning early may create opportunities for students.

• Intended Uses: 
  • Help counselors understand the impact of early admissions for students.
  • Get a bird’s eye view of early admission, and month over month trends for current and previous year.

WASTED MOTION SUMMARY: This section highlights findings gathered from the current calendar year, and the previous calendar year. This includes a high-level statistical breakdown of plans with the potential to minimize wasted motion, average applications potentially avoided, and average application fees potentially avoided. As a result, this data can be useful in understanding the wasted motion statistics, and how to prioritize your applications to minimize wasted effort.

• Intended Uses: 
  • Help counselors understand the statistical aspect of wasted motion and build a sensible college plan resulting in minimizing both the odds and wasted motion.
  • Get a bird’s eye view of wasted motion, and month over month trends for current and previous year.
