Student recruitment today isn’t just competitive, it’s chaotic.
Across higher education, K-12 schools, coaching centers, EdTech companies, study abroad consultancies, and online degree programs, enrollment teams face a common truth:
You can’t grow enrollments using guesswork. That’s exactly where predictive admissions software comes in.
But what makes it work? Why are education leaders worldwide moving from traditional CRMs to predictive, AI-powered solutions like Meritto? Let’s break it down.
1. Predictive lead scoring: Spot intent before it fades
Most teams waste hours chasing unqualified leads while ignoring high-intent students.
Use case: An EdTech company runs daily webinars for lead generation. Counselors follow up manually and late. Result? Cold leads, low enrollments.
With Meritto’s predictive admissions software: Every lead is automatically scored by AI based on source, behavior, and engagement. High-intent students are prioritized for immediate follow-up. Teams convert faster and smarter across all sectors.
2. Forecasting application funnels: Act before drop-offs happen
Your best applicants often disappear quietly. Traditional CRMs don’t flag early signals of dropout. Predictive systems do.
Use case: A K-12 school notices that 40% of started applications never complete. The admissions team realizes this only after deadlines pass.
With predictive admissions software: Meritto identifies drop-off trends in real time. It alerts teams when a student is likely to quit, based on inactivity, incomplete documents, or missed calls. Smart nudges are triggered instantly. Now, every lost lead becomes a win-back opportunity.
3. AI-powered allocation: Assign the right counselor instantly
Even the best counselor can fail with the wrong student match.
Use case: A study abroad consultancy uses manual methods to assign leads. Students from France are matched with India-based counselors unfamiliar with regional concerns. Result? Poor conversions.
With predictive admissions software: Meritto’s AI allocates leads dynamically based on geography, counselor expertise, language, and past performance. Everyone gets a perfect match, without delay.
4. Conversion prediction: Know which campaigns actually work
Most institutions fly blind when it comes to marketing ROI. Predictive engines shine a light.
Use case: A coaching center runs two ad campaigns but doesn’t know which one converts better into paid admissions.
With predictive admissions software: Meritto tags every lead to its exact source. Then, it predicts likelihood of conversion per campaign using historical data. Teams double down on what works, and kill what doesn’t.
5. Benchmarks that get smarter with every enrollment
Education is always evolving. So should your benchmarks.
Use case: An online degree program wants to compare its conversion rates across quarters but lacks contextual insights.
With Meritto: Your predictive admissions software doesn’t just give you data, it gives you dynamic benchmarks based on program type, region, and past performance. You’re not just comparing. You’re improving.
