• Yield Rate Contribution – Measure success in converting admitted students to enrolled students
• Prospective Student Experience – Capture feedback on communication quality, responsiveness, and relationship-building

Perfect for Admissions Offices and Enrollment Teams

Whether you're conducting annual performance reviews, mid-year check-ins, or gathering peer feedback, this template adapts to your evaluation cycle. It's designed for:

• Admissions Directors conducting formal counselor assessments
• Assistant Directors providing peer evaluations
