Secret Shoppers: The Stealth Applicant Search for Higher Education
Dupaul, Stephanie; Harris, Michael S.
Journal of College Admission, n215 p8-16 Spr 2012
Stealth applicants who do not flow through the traditional admission funnel now represent nearly one-third of the national applicant pool. This study employs a consumer behavior framework to examine the behaviors of stealth applicants at a private university. The findings provide a rich illustration of how stealth applicants search for college. (Contains 2 figures and 2 tables.)
