Goal · Domestic recruitment
Recruit domestic students with the voices they trust
Local students don't need a brochure — they need to see someone like them, one year ahead, telling the truth about your campus. UpperClass turns that into a measured pipeline.

The problem
The cost of acquiring a domestic applicant through paid channels keeps climbing, while the audience those channels target trusts institutional advertising less every cycle. Gen Z's filter for marketing is ruthless — and a viewbook can't pass it.
What does pass it: a current student, on camera, unscripted, answering the questions applicants are actually asking.
How UpperClass delivers it
Four moves, one governed pipeline.
-
01
Creators who mirror your applicant pool
Recruit from your own programs and regions; brief them with campaign prompts like "a week in my faculty" and "advice for parents."
-
02
Content lands on the pages that convert
LiveFeed embeds put student stories directly on your program pages, where domestic prospects are already comparing options.
-
03
Attention becomes a lead, not a like
Built-in capture qualifies every inquiry against nine criteria and routes it natively to Slate, Salesforce, Unibuddy, or your CRM of record.
-
04
You approve everything first
Every piece passes moderation and your review before it appears anywhere.
Where it fits the student decision journey
Domestic recruitment lives in the consideration and application stages of the student decision journey — where a familiar voice outweighs a polished one. See the full journey.
