What would you do if your inbox looked like this?

Students typically Select All ---> Delete.

Even if you can stay out of the spam and promotions folders, it's incredibly hard to stand out amidst the noise. With some students getting thousands of emails from colleges, they're fed up.

Email is Dead™...use Scoir instead!

What Students Really Want to Hear from Colleges - Student Inbox

Replace Your Name Buy Budget with a More Effective Approach

On Scoir, 1 in 6 college-bound students self-report their academic and extracurricular interests as early as freshman year. Instead of sending email blasts, send targeted messages to students who are actually interested in your institution.

With more than 1 in 10 high schools in the U.S. using Scoir, you're reaching a large, purposeful audience with Messaging.

Stand out from the noise

Avoid crowded email inboxes with a dedicated Messaging Center on Scoir where students are required by their high school to focus on all things college admissions.

Engage earlier

You can begin recruiting students and families as early as freshman year of high school where they actually want to hear from you (not their email inbox).
