Carleton Admissions Trends<\/h2>\n\n\n

Introduction & Motivation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our team created this project for our final project for DGAH 110: Hacking the Humanities. We decided to investigate admissions trends including total number of applicants, total number of accepted students, and total number of enrolled students at Carleton College from 1999-2024. When applying for colleges, one of the things that many people look at is acceptance rate. We were no exception, which is why we were curious in seeing if there were any interesting trends in admissions data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We worked with data from Carleton’s Common Data Set<\/a> for our analysis. For the in-depth discussion on the data and our processes, head on over to our Processes page<\/a>. We created various graphs including line charts, bar charts, and pie charts to visualize our data. Our complete set of visuals can be seen on our Visuals page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After creating the graphs, we selected trends we found interesting and wanted to further research. We discuss Carleton-specific trends, national trends, and trends shared by other selective liberal arts colleges like Carleton. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
