Early Admission Call-Up: A Strategy and Marketing Perk for Attracting Better Students to a College in Lebanon
Naimy, Viviane; Nasser, Ramzi
American Journal of Business Education, v2 n4 p19-24 2009
The purpose of this study was to determine whether an early call-up strategy helps in attracting better students to a private university in Lebanon. Early admission call-up was administered to the top 25 percentile-ranked students of main feeder schools at a private university in Lebanon. Admission data was accrued for students who applied for admission from 2000 to 2006. The early admission call-up was made in the spring of 2006 and compared to the top 25 percentile-ranked students of previous years that were not treated with the early-admission call-up. They were also compared to those below the 25 percentile score cohort group. The results showed that students who were treated with the call-up enrolled at higher rates than those at the top 25 percentile rank in previous years. It was also shown that those at the top 25 percentile score had a higher high school averages as compared to the previous years. Early admission call-up provides a strategic marketing "perk" to enrolling above average students at a private university in Lebanon.
