MATLAB: If loop: What’s going wrong

if

Here is my if loop:
 loopcount = 0;
 TotalEnrolledNew = 0;
    if TotalEnrolledNew < 10000;
        x11(1) = 1500;
        x22(1) = 1400;
        x33(1) = 1300;
 for k = 1:1:14
    x11(k+1) = 0.1 * x11(k) + 2900 + 100 * k;
    x22(k+1) = 0.75 * x11(k) + 0.05 * x22(k) + 250 + 50 * k;
    x33(k+1) = 0.9 * x22(k) + 0.05 * x33(k);
end 
TotalEnrolledNew = x11(k) + x22(k) + x33(k)
loopcount = loopcount + 1
    else 
        x111(1) = x11(loopcount);
        x222(1) = x22(loopcount);
        x333(1) = x33(loopcount);
for k = 1:1:14
    x111(k+1) = 0.1 * x111(k) + TotalEnrolledNew;
    x222(k+1) = 0.75 * x111(k) + 0.05 * x222(k) + 300;
    x333(k+1) = 0.9 * x222(k) + 0.05 * x333(k);
end
TotlEnrolledNew2 = x111(15) + x222(15) + x333(15)
    end
The idea is quite blatant, to follow the first set of rules until TotalEnrollmentNew is greater than 10000, then follow the new set of rules using TotalEnrolledNew in its first iteration. My issue is that loopcount stays at 1 in the ouput, and i think this is because of the use of the first for loop meaning the program loops within the if loop, so doesn't loop correctly. I have tried doing the following without the for loop but can't make any headway.
Any and all help appreciated as always

These are the relevant parts of the code:
loopcount = 0;
...
if TotalEnrolledNew < 10000;
    ...
    ... irrelevant loop here
    ...
    loopcount = loopcount + 1
else
   ...
   ... another irrelevant loop here
   ...
end
As you can see all loops are totally irrelevant to your loopcount variable: it is not incremented in any loop because it is not inside any loop.
It is not clear what you expect loopcount to do, or why you think it has anything to do with loops.
"The idea is quite blatant, to follow the first set of rules until TotalEnrollmentNew is greater than 10000, then follow the new set of rules using TotalEnrolledNew in its first iteration."
You don't change TotalEnrolledNew inside any loop, so it is not clear how this description corresponds to your code. If TotalEnrollmentNew should be changing "until" some condition then you need to be defining/updating its value inside some loop of some kind, perhaps something like this:
TotalEnrollmentNew = ...
...
while TotalEnrolledNew < 10000;
    ...
    TotalEnrollmentNew = ...
end
...
... move on to the next "set of rules":
while ...
    ...
end
