ADMISSIONS

Technology has changed the admissions process dramatically over the last ten years. Gen X to Gen Z prospects are the most brand-aware and technologically savvy generations in history! As a result, how we reach and communicate with them is a constantly moving target. What works? What competitive advantages are there to be had? How can a standalone school compete against globally recognized product brands that are leveraging their technology budget across dozens of locations? SPEC admissions systems address all of these questions.
