Best Practices in Evaluating Your Admission and Merit Scholarship Processes Post-COVID-19
Campuses across the country are re-evaluating their admission and merit scholarship process for the fall of 2021 as ACT and SAT availability is now in question for students due to COVID-19. RNL has worked with several campus partners to model what a class might look like when moving from a multi-component or two-component scholarship structure to a structure solely based on high school grade point average. What are the factors your campus is using for admission and scholarship decision-making? How will this affect your class academic profile and shape?
This webinar explores:
- What happens to a population when you move from a calculated academic index that includes test scores to a HSGPA-only environment?
- How do you determine appropriate GPA-based definitions for scholarship levels?
- What are the financial ramifications of a test blind environment?
- What are some of the pitfalls a campus must consider when awarding scholarships based solely on HSGPA?
- Will this change affect retention in the future?
