StriveScan surveyed dozens of colleges about what student information is most important to them and for their CRM systems. We wanted to provide a quick and efficient student registration process, especially because many students register on their phones, but also did not want to miss out on critical data for the colleges. 


We took pains to balance the needs of colleges with the time and effort required by the student. Our focus is on providing sufficient contact information and details for a college to build a preliminary record and conduct further outreach.


As a result, the following information is provided in each export file. Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required for the student to fill out during the registration process.

Fairs Outside of the United States or Other Fairs

Some fairs hosted by the Council of International Schools and Linden Educational Services utilized custom registration forms. As their registration form questions differ from our Standard U.S. registration form, so to do their export files. Many of the fields are similar with adjustments for the international audience.
