Our Approach

Turn insight into foresight. Every predictive model begins with your unique data—enriched by Carnegie’s national behavioral, geodemographic, and psychographic signals—to forecast student behavior with remarkable accuracy.

We don’t just hand over scores; we help you interpret and apply them strategically across the enrollment cycle. From training to implementation, our experts partner with your team to ensure insights translate into real outcomes: smarter outreach, stronger yield, and sustained enrollment growth.

Strategies That Power Smarter Enrollment Decisions

EnGauge Apply Score

Built on advanced predictive analytics and higher education behavioral data, EnGauge Apply Score helps your institution identify which students are most likely to apply, so you can focus outreach where it counts. Each model is custom-built from your data and Carnegie’s proprietary insights, ensuring precision that strengthens every student connection and drives enrollment success.

EnGauge Enroll Score

EnGauge Enroll Score uses AI-enabled modeling to forecast yield and guide your engagement strategy. By combining geodemographic data, behavioral signals, and Carnegie’s exclusive enrollment intelligence, you’ll gain a clear, actionable view of student intent, helping you make every conversation, incentive, and offer more meaningful.

Student Success Modeling

Carnegie’s Student Success Modeling uncovers the academic, financial, and behavioral factors that influence first-year retention and persistence. With predictive analytics designed for higher education, we help you identify at-risk students early, design strategies that foster belonging, and build systems that turn success into sustainability.

Strategic Consulting & Training

From interpreting results to optimizing Slate integration, our experts partner with your team to turn insight into strategy. Through ongoing consulting and staff training, we help institutions adopt predictive analytics as a living practice, empowering your people, improving efficiency, and sustaining measurable enrollment and retention gains.

How it Works

Discover What Drives Student Action

We begin by analyzing your institutional data—enrollment trends, behavioral signals, and historical application patterns—to uncover what truly drives students to apply, enroll, and succeed. This foundation turns your existing data into a roadmap for smarter, more student-centered decision-making.

Model With AI That Learns From You

Our EnGauge predictive modeling platform combines your data with Carnegie’s proprietary behavioral and psychographic insights, creating custom AI models designed specifically for higher education. Each model learns and adapts over time, delivering increasingly precise predictions that reflect your institution’s unique dynamics.

Apply Insights That Move Students to Act

Predictions are integrated directly into your Slate CRM (your instance or ours), making predictive analytics a seamless part of your enrollment ecosystem. You’ll see which students are most likely to apply or enroll, enabling targeted outreach, smarter resource allocation, and more personalized communication at every stage.

Optimize for Continuous Growth and Accuracy

Carnegie partners with your team to interpret, refine, and expand your predictive strategy. Through consulting, training, and ongoing model optimization, we ensure your data stays dynamic and your strategy evolves with each recruitment cycle. Predictive analytics becomes not just a tool, but a sustainable advantage in student connection and success.
