  • Conversation Strategies for the Introverted Admissions Counselor

    Conversation Strategies for the Introverted Admissions Counselor
    Jan 12 2026
    Calling all introverts, this episode of the Monday Morning Admissions podcast is for you! Lots of thoughtful, intelligent people are drawn to work in a college admissions department. And many of those people would classify themselves as more introverted than extroverted. Phone calls, personal interactions, and the process of 'closing' a prospect's commitment are the most challenging parts of the job. Today, we go over proven approaches that will fit the more introverted style of that personality, and create a system that allows them to be successful. To order "The Ultimate Q&A Guide for College Admissions Counselors" that was mentioned on the show, go here: https://dantudor.com/product/the-ultimate-qa-guide-for-college-admissions-counselors/ Questions for the host, or interested in having us work with your admissions team on your campus?

  • The Growing Importance of Differentiation in the College Admissions Process

    The Growing Importance of Differentiation in the College Admissions Process
    Dec 28 2025
    How much do you emphasize how your campus, your degree and the future benefits of a student coming to your campus is different than their other options? It's a critical question, because according to our research, it's turning out to be one of the major checklist items this generation of prospects are focusing on as they whittle down their choices and end up choosing a college or university for the next step in their life. This episode focuses on the 'why' behind this trend, as well as practical tips for admissions counselors on how to start that part of their conversations with this class of prospects already involved in the decision making process. To contact the host with questions or podcast topic ideas, email us at dan@dantudor.com. Want to have Tudor Collegiate Strategies to work more closely with you and your admissions department?

  • Mastering Transfer Student Recruiting with Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner

    Mastering Transfer Student Recruiting with Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner
    Nov 24 2025
    Transfer student recruiting has become a vital part of a growing number of campuses around the country, and yet this important segment of your incoming student population has special needs that most campuses don't completely understand. On today's episode, we welcome Dr. Lynn Tincher, President and CEO of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, where her focus is linking some of the nation's hardest working college students to life-changing scholarships. She talks about how this population has different needs than your traditional four year student recruit, where college admissions departments often make mistakes in reaching out to this segment, and key research that will show any college admissions department how to do it all more effectively. For more information on Dr. Lynn Tincher-Ladner and Phi Theta Kappa and how her organization can help your admissions department be more effective in bringing this growing population of student to your campus, visit ptk.org and follow Lynn on LinkedIn at @Drlynptk. You can also email her directly at lynn.tincher-ladner@ptk.org.

  • Ed Wright on Building Consistent Admissions Success

    Ed Wright on Building Consistent Admissions Success
    Nov 2 2025
    Ed Wright is leaving his post as Vice President of Enrollment Management at Lebanon Valley College, and on today's episode, he'll talk about why (and how) his team has been so successful in building consistency and success in reaching their admissions goals year after year. What makes his story unique? LVC doesn't have a lot of things stacked in it's favor when it comes to achieving consistent enrollment success: It's a rural campus, in a small college town, with not a lot around campus that would be considered big draws for students all across the country. And yet, they have enjoyed consistent success under Wright's leadership. He'll walk us through how that has been happening, and what other admissions leaders can do to approach their task of landing healthy admissions classes.

  • Two Prospect Objections That Are Almost Impossible to Overcome

    Two Prospect Objections That Are Almost Impossible to Overcome
    Oct 27 2025
    On this episode, we talk about two objections you're going to run into (and probably already have) that we have found to be almost impossible to overcome in the admissions recruiting process. For over two decades, we've helped admissions professionals and college coaches strategically approach objections and overcome them, but these two are almost always unbeatable. Dan Tudor discusses both, talks about why they are so difficult to overcome, and what you need to communicate to your admissions team when you run into them.
