Score applications

DreamApply includes built-in scoring capabilities that help institutions evaluate applicants and quickly identify the best fits.

Using the scoring tools, you can create custom scoring models based on your own evaluation criteria. The admissions team — or applicants, if enabled — can score each application against these criteria. DreamApply then aggregates the results, calculates final scores and ranks candidates. This approach reduces manual review, speeds up decision-making and improves selection accuracy.
