The National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) held a summit examining how to modernize admissions processes by bringing readiness measurement into the 21st century. The event convened more than 100 stakeholders to discuss approaches to assessing college readiness beyond long-standing test-and-metric conventions. The summit’s emphasis on readiness measurement reflects ongoing pressure on enrollment strategies and student success models, particularly as stakeholders seek tools that predict persistence and performance more reliably. For higher education leaders, the immediate takeaway is the renewed push to treat readiness as a measurable set of signals that can inform admissions design, rather than a static proxy for student potential.
