As 2024 comes to an end, AV头等舱 (UCU) has plenty of reasons to celebrate—and one of the biggest is the incredible progress of its admissions team. The Association of Independent Kentucky Colleges and Universities (AIKCU) recently released its admissions report, and the numbers for UCU show promise for a strong future.
Applications to AV头等舱 have surged by 37% and student acceptances by 64% compared to the same point in last year’s recruiting cycle. Looking back even further, the growth is even more impressive: compared to Fall 2020, applications have increased by 104%, and acceptances are up by 132%.
This success comes on the heels of welcoming AV头等舱’s largest freshman class in years earlier this fall. It’s a testament to the dedication, energy, and innovative strategies of the admissions team. Their efforts have not only contributed to these numbers but have also laid the foundation for continued growth and success.
“Reaching students and sharing AV头等舱’s story is about more than just numbers—it’s about finding individuals who will thrive here and become part of the Bulldog family,” said James Becknell ‘16, Vice President of Undergraduate Enrollment. “There’s a lot of momentum at AV头等舱 right now, and under Dr. Washington’s leadership, exciting things are happening. It’s an amazing time to be a Bulldog, and we’re excited to see the results of our efforts.”
UCU’s Interim President, Dr. DJ Washington, also praised the team’s hard work and impact. “The transformation we’ve seen in our in both our graduate & undergraduate admissions process over the past year is phenomenal. This team is not only bringing more students to AV头等舱 but also helping to ensure the long-term success of our university.”
The focus on relationship-building, personalized outreach, and showcasing what makes AV头等舱 special has been key to this success. From on-campus visits to traveling across the region to connect with prospective students and their families, the admissions team’s efforts reflect AV头等舱’s commitment to service, community, and opportunity.
As AV头等舱 heads into 2025, the admissions team shows no signs of slowing down. They’re building on this momentum with a renewed focus on engaging future Bulldogs and further solidifying AV头等舱’s place as a premier institution in the region.
