University of Montana: Applications from prospective students up 123 percent

Before she took the job, Cathy Cole, University of Montana vice president for enrollment management and strategic communications signed up her dog as a prospective student at UM to see the type of material the flagship provided, but the campus didn’t send information. Once she started the job, she saw the computer wrongly noted it had sent a set of messages.

"We had a fairly enthusiastic phone call with the owner of the company," Cole said. "I may have said my favorite word a number of times."

The University of Montana http://www.umt.edu/ has drawn 123 percent more applications from prospective students this year than it did last year at the same time, according to a UM vice president.

Cathy Cole, vice president for enrollment management and strategic communications, also said the number of acceptances has grown 333 percent this year compared to last year.

"That’s a lot," Cole said Thursday.
