The Enrollment Management Association

The Enrollment Management Association (EMA) is a nonprofit organization that provides professional support, advocacy, and smart, strategic enrollment tools to the enrollment offices of more than 1,300 independent schools. EMA has several products to help support enrollment offices to better understand students holistically, ranging from standardized tests to character analysis tools. One such product is the Character Skills Snapshot, which is an online assessment tool that provides schools with a more comprehensive view of each applicant. It measures attributes, such as initiative, intellectual engagement, resilience, teamwork, and many more. In addition, EMA administers more than 70,000 Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) administrations to potential private day and boarding students annually. EMA's mission is to provide unparalleled leadership and service in meeting the admission assessment and enrollment needs of schools, students, and families.
