Graduation Exit Poll: Student Experience & Outcomes
Captures how graduating students rate their academic experience, career readiness, and likelihood to recommend the institution, with a prioritization exercise on what shaped their time most. An AI follow-up interview digs into the story behind their recommendation score so administrators hear specifics, not just averages.

Q08
AI Interview
Probe the story behind the respondent's recommendation score: ask for one specific moment, class, person, or experience that most shaped how they feel. If the score was low or middling, anchor on what almost made them consider leaving or what they'd tell an incoming student to watch out for. If high, anchor on the single experience they'd want preserved for future students. Get concrete detail, not general praise or complaint.

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Goes beyond a single recommendation score with an AI follow-up interview that probes the specific story behind each graduate's rating, giving administrators qualitative detail instead of just an average
- Uses a max-diff prioritization exercise to identify what actually shaped the student experience most, rather than relying only on satisfaction ratings
- Combines quantitative measures (satisfaction, program-prep rating, likelihood-to-recommend) with an open long-text question and automated reporting, so results are analysis-ready without manual coding
- Captures degree level and field of study as segmentation variables, letting administrators break down readiness and satisfaction by program
QuestionPro
Graduation exit poll survey questions + sample questionnaire templateThis is a genuine graduation exit poll template with a sample questionnaire covering academic experience and outcomes, directly comparable to ours. It appears to be a static question set for administrators to deploy or adapt, without any adaptive follow-up mechanism. Reporting relies on QuestionPro's standard dashboard tools.
What it does well
- Purpose-built sample questionnaire specific to graduation exit polls
- Backed by an established survey platform with broad question-type support
- Likely easy to customize and deploy quickly for institutional use
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI follow-up interview to probe individual responses beyond fixed questions
- No voice AI interview option or guided screen-share tasks
- No indication of per-response quality scoring or transparent prompt methodology
SurveyMonkey
Graduation Survey Template for UniversityA graduation-focused survey template aimed at universities, making it a relevant comparison for capturing student experience and outcomes. It's a standard fielding-ready form built on SurveyMonkey's fixed question format rather than any conversational or adaptive interview approach. Reporting is handled through SurveyMonkey's existing analytics suite.
What it does well
- Template tailored specifically to university graduation surveys
- Backed by a widely used, familiar survey platform with strong distribution tools
- Simple to launch for institutions already using SurveyMonkey
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI-driven follow-up to explore the reasoning behind scores
- No voice AI interview or guided task capability
- No automated per-response quality scoring or published prompt transparency
