"We used to calculate this in Excel every year. This tool does the same calculation instantly and the trend chart is exactly what we need for our annual accreditation report. Saves hours of work."

LV
Lena Vasquez
Institutional Research Analyst
★★★★★

"The selectivity classification is very useful for benchmarking. We can now quickly see which faculties have become more or less selective over five years without building a new report each time."

JK
James Kariuki
Registrar
★★★★☆

"Simple, accurate, and exportable. The PDF report with the trend chart is exactly what our Senate requires in the annual admissions summary. I use this every cycle at the end of the intake period."

MP
Min-Ji Park
Admissions Manager
★★★★★

"The multi-year trend view showed us that our MBA programme acceptance rate had dropped from 38% to 19% over six years — a fact that was not visible from individual year reports. Very useful insight."
