How much do you emphasize how your campus, your degree and the future benefits of a student coming to your campus is different than their other options?

It's a critical question, because according to our research, it's turning out to be one of the major checklist items this generation of prospects are focusing on as they whittle down their choices and end up choosing a college or university for the next step in their life.

This episode focuses on the 'why' behind this trend, as well as practical tips for admissions counselors on how to start that part of their conversations with this class of prospects already involved in the decision making process.

On this episode of the Monday Morning Admissions podcast, we dive into the questions you should be asking your prospects - and how to get better at coming up with your own questions on the fly, based on what you're hearing from your prospects as you talk to them.

Asking great questions is an art, and you can learn it!

We cover six types of questions that you should be focusing on as an admissions counselor:

- The Origin Story Question

- The Hidden Priority Question

- The Obstacle X-Ray Question

- The Meaning-Mirror Question

- The Future Snapshot Question

- The Ownership Transfer Question

All of these are base on questions we've provided admissions departments in our book, "The Ultimate Q&A Guide for College Admissions Counselors".

Transfer student recruiting has become a vital part of a growing number of campuses around the country, and yet this important segment of your incoming student population has special needs that most campuses don't completely understand.

On today's episode, we welcome Dr. Lynn Tincher, President and CEO of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, where her focus is linking some of the nation's hardest working college students to life-changing scholarships.

She talks about how this population has different needs than your traditional four year student recruit, where college admissions departments often make mistakes in reaching out to this segment, and key research that will show any college admissions department how to do it all more effectively.

For more information on Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner and Phi Theta Kappa and how her organization can help your admissions department be more effective in bringing this growing population of student to your campus, visit ptk.org and follow Lynn on LinkedIn at @Drlynptk. You can also email her directly at [email protected].

Ed Wright is leaving his post as Vice President of Enrollment Management at Lebanon Valley College, and on today's episode, he'll talk about why (and how) his team has been so successful in building consistency and success in reaching their admissions goals year after year.

What makes his story unique? LVC doesn't have a lot of things stacked in it's favor when it comes to achieving consistent enrollment success: It's a rural campus, in a small college town, with not a lot around campus that would be considered big draws for students all across the country. And yet, they have enjoyed consistent success under Wright's leadership. He'll walk us through how that has been happening, and what other admissions leaders can do to approach their task of landing healthy admissions classes.

On this episode, we talk about two objections you're going to run into (and probably already have) that we have found to be almost impossible to overcome in the admissions recruiting process.

For over two decades, we've helped admissions professionals and college coaches strategically approach objections and overcome them, but these two are almost always unbeatable.

Dan Tudor discusses both, talks about why they are so difficult to overcome, and what you need to communicate to your admissions team when you run into them.
