Tenfold increase in applications in 5 years University of Pavia’s experience with DreamApply

The University of Pavia, one of Europe’s oldest universities, needed a more efficient way to manage growing admissions volumes and improve communication with applicants. In 2019, it adopted DreamApply’s application management software to support its admissions and marketing teams.

With DreamApply, the university centralized applicant data and communications, improved tracking and personalized support, and used the platform as a marketing tool to promote its programs globally. The results were dramatic: applications grew from 700 in 2019/20 to 7,800 in 2023/24, a tenfold increase, while DreamApply also helped the university scale admissions operations efficiently and reduce application processing time.
