HOW IT WORKS

From prospect to enrolled student.

Peer chat meets students at the moment of consideration and guides them through every step of the decision process.

Capture Attention Early

Student ambassador profiles surface before the application is even started.

Start a Real Conversation

Prospects connect with current students by program, country, or background.

Build Confidence to Enroll

Engaged prospects are 3.5x more likely to deposit than those who go without peer contact.

Stay Connected

Peer relationships reduce melt and boost first-year retention.

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

The most high-stakes decision of their lives deserves a real conversation.

International students have more questions, more hesitations, and more at stake. Peer connections help bridge the gap between interest and commitment. For international students, that gap is often where enrollment is won or lost.

Visa denial rates are rising. A student's ability to demonstrate a meaningful connection to your institution can influence their visa interview. Former consular officers consistently note that connecting prospective students with current students can make a meaningful difference.
