Scoir

Scoir represents a massive disruption in the college admissions landscape. Technically, it is a dual-sided network. On one side, it is a college and career readiness platform used by high school counselors and students (competing directly with Naviance) to research colleges and send official high school transcripts. On the other side, it is a highly modern, incredibly fast recruitment network for university admissions offices. Because millions of high school students actively use Scoir to build their "college lists," universities use the platform to directly discover, message, and recruit highly targeted students who have signaled interest. For universities, Scoir functions as an incredibly powerful, top-of-funnel recruitment tool that integrates seamlessly with their main CRM (like Slate or TargetX). When a high school student "follows" a university on Scoir, the university's admissions counselors are immediately notified. They can see the student's academic profile (if the student allows) and utilize Scoir's built-in messaging system to engage the student directly, bypassing the often-ignored traditional email inbox. This allows universities to build highly engaged, organic applicant pools without relying entirely on purchasing expensive, "cold" lists of names from standardized testing companies. Furthermore, Scoir has fundamentally streamlined the actual application process. Historically, students had to re-type their demographic and academic information into a dozen different college applications. Scoir allows students to use the data already in their high school profile to apply directly to participating universities with just a few clicks. This frictionless "Apply with Scoir" feature dramatically increases the number of applications a university receives. For colleges looking to modernize their recruitment strategies and connect directly with high school students where they already spend their time, Scoir is an indispensable network.
