Support of administrative decision-making and knowledge discovery from such decentralized data flows requires a system designed with close eye on the specific needs of the academic and market domains. A model-based approach is needed to plan recruitment efforts and activities, optimally allocate resources, maximize enrolments and meet universities recruitment, etc. Such an approach should be based on appropriate Operations Research or modeling techniques allowing decision makers to meet institutional goals by managing the recruitment and enrolment of students at universities or any educational institution. The admissions process must admit students in such a manner as to achieve an efficient utilization of university resources. This paper introduces visual model of gap analysis and students admissions in an Egyptian universities.}, }
