Ask for admit-to-enroll yield and get it in one view. When you ask, Joy reads your admissions system through a read-only connector and returns yield by program, residency, first-generation status, and aid tier against your target, with deposits set beside admits and a read on which segment is slipping.
Show me admit-to-enroll yield for [entering class] by [program, residency, first-gen, and aid tier] against our [target], with deposits versus admits and where yield is slipping.
An illustrative example. Your output will reflect your own sources, data, and prompts.
I read your Fall 2026 admissions cycle just now. You are holding 1,684 deposits on 4,820 admits, a 34.9% yield against your 38% target, and the shortfall is concentrated in out-of-state and partial-aid liberal-arts admits rather than spread across the class.
Here is where yield stands for the Fall 2026 entering class, read from your admissions system just now. You have admitted 4,820 students and hold 1,684 deposits, an overall yield of 34.9% against your 38% target. To close that gap before the May 1 deposit deadline you need 148 more deposits.
Yield holds up in the professional programs and falls away in the liberal arts. Nursing is your strongest at 44% and Business sits right on target at 38%, but Liberal Arts has converted just 27% of its 980 admits.
Admit-to-enroll yield by program
Cutting the class a different way tells the same story. These segments overlap — an out-of-state liberal-arts admit on a partial-aid package sits in all three rows — so they don't add up to the class, they point at the same students from different angles.
| Segment | Admits | Deposits | Yield | vs target |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liberal Arts (program) | 980 | 265 | 27.0% | −11.0 pts |
| Out-of-state | 1,640 | 444 | 27.1% | −10.9 pts |
| First-generation | 1,210 | 375 | 31.0% | −7.0 pts |
| Partial-aid tier | 1,050 | 273 | 26.0% | −12.0 pts |
The drag is concentrated, not spread across the class. Out-of-state admits (27.1%) and the partial-aid tier (26.0%) are furthest below target, and both overlap heavily with the liberal-arts pool that is pulling the average down. The partial-aid tier is the one to work first: at 1,050 admits, lifting it from 26% to 33% would add about 74 deposits, roughly half the 148 you still need.
The professional programs are already at or above target, so there is little to gain there. Point the deposit-deadline push at out-of-state and partial-aid liberal-arts admits — a targeted aid-package review and personal outreach to that group in the 13 days left — and re-run this read next week to see whether the segment is moving.
Want me to break the partial-aid tier down by program, or draft outreach talking points for out-of-state liberal-arts admits?
Yield Dashboard is an on-demand Visual Intelligence read. When you ask, Joy reads your admissions system through a read-only connector and returns admit-to-enroll yield by program, residency, first-generation status, and aid tier, each against your target, with deposits set beside admits so you see conversion, not just counts.
Give Joy read-only access to your SIS or admissions CRM: admits, deposits, program, residency, the first-generation flag, and aid tier for the entering class. This is what Joy reads to compute yield.
Ask for admit-to-enroll yield for the class you care about, broken out by the segments that matter, against your target. No query language and no pivot tables.
Joy returns yield tiles, a yield-by-program chart with your target marked, and a table of the segments furthest below target, with deposits shown against admits so the conversion is clear.
Copy the read into your enrollment-committee notes, and ask Joy to break a segment down further or draft outreach for it so you can act before the deposit deadline.
Save this ask as a custom command on the assistant your team already uses, so anyone can run it in one step.
Every segment shows deposits against admits and the resulting yield, so you see conversion rather than a raw deposit total.
Each segment is shown against your yield target, with the gap in points, so the ones pulling you down are obvious at a glance.
Joy names the segments furthest below target — by program, residency, first-gen, or aid tier — and where they overlap, not just the overall number.
An on-demand read you can run the morning of your enrollment meeting and again a week later to see whether the segment is moving.
Narrow the read to a single college or program to see how its yield compares with target and with last cycle.
Split yield by residency to see how much of the gap is out-of-state, where cost and travel weigh on the decision.
Break yield down by aid package to see whether gapped-aid students are converting and where a re-package might move the number.
Compare this cycle's yield by segment against the same point last year to separate a real slide from normal timing.
Ask Joy. It reads your admissions system and returns yield for the entering class broken out by program, residency, first-generation status, and aid tier, each against your target, with deposits shown against admits so you see conversion rather than raw counts.
It is an on-demand read. You ask in chat, Joy pulls the current admit and deposit figures at that moment, and returns the yield picture. It is not a standing dashboard that refreshes on its own or pushes updates between questions.
No. There is no scheduled refresh and no alerts or push. You decide when to look by asking, and Joy answers with the numbers as they stand right then. Nothing arrives unless you request it.
Yield is deposits divided by admits for the segment you asked about. In the example, 1,684 deposits on 4,820 admits is a 34.9% overall yield, and each segment's yield is its own deposits over its own admits, shown against your target.
Ask and Joy will break the segment down further or draft outreach for it — talking points for out-of-state admits, or a note flagging students for an aid re-package review. You send it and act in your systems; Joy reads and drafts, it does not write back.
