# Using the Reporting's Admissions Outcomes Tool in CounselMore

## The Reporting Admissions Outcomes tool helps you manage student application data efficiently. Here's how to use it:

In this Study Hall clip, the host explains how admissions outcomes reporting helps counselors capture results, identify patterns, and use past outcomes to guide future advising decisions.

### **Accessing the Admissions Outcomes Report**

You can now access the **Admissions Outcomes Report** in several ways:

1\. **From the Service Account menu**

**![](https://helpdesk.counselmore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-19-2026-10-08-44-7343-AM.png?width=670&height=135&name=image-png-Jan-19-2026-10-08-44-7343-AM.png)**

2\. **From Service Account → Settings → Reporting → Admissions Outcomes**

**![](https://helpdesk.counselmore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-19-2026-10-12-26-1868-AM.png?width=670&height=304&name=image-png-Jan-19-2026-10-12-26-1868-AM.png)**

The **Admissions Outcomes Report** helps visualize and analyze college application data across all students.  
You can toggle between:

- **View by College** (visual and analytical overview)
- **View by Student**

### ![](https://helpdesk.counselmore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-29-2025-05-17-58-5620-AM.png?width=266&height=92&name=image-png-Oct-29-2025-05-17-58-5620-AM.png)

---

### **View by College**

The **College View** provides visuals summarizing student application outcomes, academic averages, and historical admissions trends. It includes several key data sections and charts.

#### **Summary Metrics**

**![](https://helpdesk.counselmore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-29-2025-05-37-14-9128-AM.png?width=670&height=285&name=image-png-Oct-29-2025-05-37-14-9128-AM.png)**

At the top of the report, you’ll see your summarized college application data:

- **My Acceptance Rate** - The acceptance rate for students under you.
- **My # Apps Submitted** - Total Numbers of Applications Submitted in Initial and Final Decision
- **My Avg. GPA** - Avg. GPA of all students
- **My Avg. SAT** - Avg. SAT of all students
- **My Avg. ACT** - Avg. ACT of all students

You can toggle between:

![](https://helpdesk.counselmore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-29-2025-05-38-02-5146-AM.png?width=301&height=72&name=image-png-Oct-29-2025-05-38-02-5146-AM.png)

- **Initial Decision** — outcomes at the time of first submission
- **Final Decision** — most recent and updated outcomes

Each decision category is **color-coded** to match statuses in the App Tracker (e.g., Accepted, Waitlisted, Deferred, Withdrawn, Denied).

![](https://helpdesk.counselmore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-29-2025-05-39-00-1412-AM.png?width=670&height=385&name=image-png-Oct-29-2025-05-39-00-1412-AM.png)

![](https://helpdesk.counselmore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-29-2025-06-24-32-0195-AM.png?width=670&height=349&name=image-png-Oct-29-2025-06-24-32-0195-AM.png)

#### **Graduation Year Filter**

Use the **Grad Year** filter at the top right to refine data by class year. You can select a specific graduation year or choose **All** to include all available years.  
Results will automatically refresh based on your selection.

#### ![](https://helpdesk.counselmore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-29-2025-05-40-34-2914-AM.png?width=370&height=313&name=image-png-Oct-29-2025-05-40-34-2914-AM.png) **Colleges Applied To**

Below the graduation year filter, you’ll see **Colleges Applied To**, giving a quick reference to where students have submitted applications.

![](https://helpdesk.counselmore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-29-2025-05-41-55-3659-AM.png?width=498&height=556&name=image-png-Oct-29-2025-05-41-55-3659-AM.png)

💡**TIP:**

- You can **select any college name** in the list to view its **individual report.**
- When you select a specific school, the metrics and visuals update automatically to reflect **data for that college only** — including acceptance rate, number of applications, and average academic performance.

![](https://helpdesk.counselmore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-29-2025-05-46-03-0531-AM.png?width=670&height=297&name=image-png-Oct-29-2025-05-46-03-0531-AM.png)

#### **Application Funnel**

**![](https://helpdesk.counselmore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-29-2025-05-47-11-3357-AM.png?width=670&height=386&name=image-png-Oct-29-2025-05-47-11-3357-AM.png)**

This visual tracks student progress through each application stage: **Applied → Submitted → Accepted → Enrolled**  
Use this chart to monitor engagement and drop-off points throughout the application cycle.

#### **Acceptances by Application Type**

**![](https://helpdesk.counselmore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-29-2025-05-47-52-1374-AM.png?width=670&height=388&name=image-png-Oct-29-2025-05-47-52-1374-AM.png)**

This chart shows which **application types** (e.g., EA, ED, Regular, Rolling, Transfer) result in the most acceptances. You can use this insight to identify trends and patterns in deadline success rates across schools.

#### **Year-over-Year Admissions Trends**

**![](https://helpdesk.counselmore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-29-2025-05-48-42-6367-AM.png?width=670&height=173&name=image-png-Oct-29-2025-05-48-42-6367-AM.png)**

The **Year-over-Year** chart compares:

- **Acceptance Rate (%)**
- **# of Apps Submitted**
- **Average Admitted GPA**

This visualization helps identify shifts or patterns in student application outcomes and academic performance over time.

### **View by Student**

**![](https://helpdesk.counselmore.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-29-2025-06-06-26-6834-AM.png?width=670&height=296&name=image-png-Oct-29-2025-06-06-26-6834-AM.png)**
