NACAC convened more than 100 stakeholders to examine how to update college admissions readiness measures, after decades in which the process has stayed relatively steady. The summit focused on new ways to assess applicant readiness and better align evaluation with what colleges actually need to support student success. The reporting indicates that the central challenge is measurement: the field is looking for approaches beyond traditional academic proxies, with an emphasis on capturing readiness signals that predict persistence and performance. For colleges and universities, changes in readiness measurement can affect admissions strategy, outreach priorities, and equity outcomes—especially if new frameworks change which applicant characteristics receive institutional weight. The event also points to coordination needs across secondary education, counseling organizations, and higher ed admissions offices, since the data collection mechanics often determine whether new readiness models can scale.
