Some Ways to Use This Metric:
Find Talent Hubs
By analyzing which countries or cities consistently produce high scores, admissions teams can identify regions that have potential for strong applicants. This insight can guide where to focus recruitment efforts, such as hosting more events or establishing partnerships with local schools and organizations.
Track Trends
Monitoring changes in score distributions over time allows admissions officers to identify emerging regions where student performance is improving. These trend data can inform decisions on whether to expand recruitment efforts into these areas.
Target Outreach
Understanding score trends and performance by region assists with crafting outreach and recruitment messaging. For example, if a city or region has high potential but low application rates, admissions teams can design campaigns to raise awareness and encourage applications from that area.
Allocate Resources
Knowing which regions produce top performers may help guide decision making processes regarding recruitment budget allocation to maximize the impact of resources.
Contextualize Scores
Regional TOEFL score distribution data may assist with understanding variations due to local educational systems, languages of instruction, or socioeconomic factors.
Leveraging regional score distribution data can help you make data-driven decisions that are both fair and strategic, leading to a more diverse and qualified student body.
