Admissions, Effective Questioning · June 6, 2023

4 Questions You Should Ask Rising Senior Inquiries

By Jeremy Tiers, Senior Director of Admissions Services

 1 minute read

 

Each time I lead a student recruitment workshop, the last thing I have attendees do is share different action points – things they want to start, or stop, doing.

One of the most popular answers that gets mentioned just about every single time is the need to come up with better, and more direct, questions to ask different groups of students.

When a question is worded the right way, students will share all kinds of useful and useable information. They’ll tell you exactly what they want and don’t want, what their concerns are, as well as what’s holding them up from taking the next step.

With that in mind, here are four questions you should ask rising seniors.

You can ask these questions when a student visits campus this summer, or as your call to action in an upcoming email or text message.

  • How did you become interested in going to college?
  • How are you feeling about your college search?
  • What worries you the most when you think about college?
  • What kind of community and atmosphere do you want your future college to have?

Each of those questions will give you important insights into a student’s mindset.

If you ask one or more of those questions and then aren’t sure where to steer the conversation next after a student responds, feel free to drop me a note at jeremy@dantudor.com It costs you nothing but your time.

And if you found this article helpful, forward it to someone else on your campus who could also benefit from reading it.
