The "2019 State of College Admission" report provides up-to-date information on a number of issues that impact students' transition from high school to postsecondary education. The report covers the recruitment strategies that colleges use to attract prospective students and the process by which candidates are evaluated for admission. Information about application volume and admission rates are provided for first-time domestic freshmen, as well as transfer and international students. The report also includes a chapter dedicated to school counseling in US secondary schools, given the integral role school counselors play in putting students on the path to postsecondary success. The report is divided into four chapters: (1) College Applications; (2) Recruitment and Yield Strategies; (3) Factors in Admission Decisions; and (4) Secondary School Counseling.
