How Pavia University built an efficient, student-centered admissions process
DreamApply
?? Enroll 30% more students and spend 40% less time managing applications with DreamApply's award-winning software
Hello valued educators.
The University of Pavia, one of Europe’s oldest institutions, faced challenges familiar to many admissions offices: streamlining workflows, engaging applicants and managing surges in applications.?
By adopting DreamApply in 2019, they achieved incredible results: they saw a 1,000% increase in applications in only 5 years while effectively managing the surge in applications with minimal changes in resources.
Here are 5 reasons that made this possible, as described by the university’s admissions team.
1. Exceptional growth and global reach
“We’ve had DreamApply since 2019, which is now 5 academic years. In the 19/20 academic year, we had 700 applications. Now, in the 23/24 academic year, we have 7,800 applications - 10 times more in 5 years. DreamApply, as both an admissions and marketing tool, made this growth possible. It’s a window, allowing everyone to easily find our programs and offers.”
2.?Fast and efficient communication
“DreamApply makes it very easy to send documents or communicate with all the applicants. Bulk emails and 1-to-1 messaging are faster and more efficient for both the university and the applicants. We can manage everything in a single platform, which allows us to support students better, whether by email or virtual appointments.”
3.Seamless integration for efficiency
“One of the features that we really like about DreamApply is the integration with the software we use to manage students' academic careers. Before, we had to re-upload all the documents into our other system, which was time-consuming. But now, with just one click, we can migrate all the student’s personal data and documents. That is a superpower.”

5.Streamlined workflows for teams
“Before DreamApply, every admissions manager had their own way of doing things. There was no centralized system. But now, with DreamApply, everything is organized. We can send letters, attach documents, and share information with professors - all in one place. It has made our daily work so much easier and more efficient.”
