01Overview

Applications, document checks and offers for a private university that kept losing candidates to faster answers elsewhere.

02The problem

An application arrived as a folder of scanned certificates, was checked by hand against twelve curricula and took nineteen days to answer. Half the applicants who eventually received an offer had already accepted one somewhere else.

Admissions works one queue: 1,284 applications across twelve curricula, checked on upload
03What we built
  1. 01

    Documents checked on upload

    Transcripts and certificates are read, matched to the right curriculum and equivalency table, and flagged only when something genuinely does not fit.

  2. 02

    Conditional offers in a day

    Where the criteria are met the offer issues immediately, conditional on originals being verified at enrolment.

  3. 03

    One conversation, not four departments

    Applicants see status, missing items and next steps in one place, in Arabic or English, instead of phoning admissions.

A reviewer accepts one flagged maths unit and the conditional offer goes out today
Status, documents and next steps in the applicant's hand, in Arabic or English
04The result

Offers now go out in the same week, acceptance improved because the university is no longer the last answer a candidate receives, and the admissions team handles three times the volume.

Closing

Do you have an idea, or a problem?

Either works. In my experience the second one goes faster.

I usually reply the same day.
