Waybetter's Sophomore

colleges and universities increase enrollment by
turning insights into action—from first click to final deposit.

How the Sophomore to Census

strategy works:

Smarter Lead Generation

We engineer the top of your funnel with truly qualified leads—sophomores, juniors, seniors, and parents—identified by likelihood to convert. Waybetter's vendor-neutral, always-on licensing model keeps your pipeline constantly refreshed with high-intent students.

Behavioral Comms That Convert

Use real-time student behavior to trigger personalized emails, texts, print, and ads—so the right message hits at the right moment, every time.

One Portal, Total Clarity

Give students (and parents) a single evolving portal that guides them through every stage—from prospect to final enrollment. It becomes their go-to place to explore, take action, and stay connected year after year.

End-to-End Data Visibility

Every interaction flows seamlessly into one system. 
No chasing data across platforms, no leads falling through the cracks. See how your campaigns are performing for instant clarity.

From Crisis

to Record-Setting Enrollment

Whittier College was under pressure—with enrollment slipping and public perception strained. By putting Waybetter’s Sophomore to Census strategy in place, deposits surged 56% in one year.
