An offer is no longer a signal of commitment
57% of students apply to six or more universities, and 1 in 4 change their decision after receiving an offer. Students apply because they are still deciding — not because they have decided.
Feasibility drives the majority of decisions
Practical, urgent problem-solving — visas, housing, money, logistics — dominates offer-holder conversations. It is where confidence is won or lost, long before enrolment.
Information volume isn’t the gap
Communication is already high; it just isn’t landing where it needs to. The report maps the “dark funnel” of real questions students ask in moments of uncertainty.
