This interactive visualization compares an applicant’s GMAT score to their respective GPA’s and compares all of the applicants on the scatter plot. The color of the point indicates whether or not the student was admitted, rejected, or waitlisted and this color mapping is indicated in the legend of the visualization. The user is able to interact with the scatter plot by using the dropdown menu and selecting which application result type the user would like to view. This means the user can click on either All, Admit, Rejected, or Waitlist and see the individual applicants that fell in that criteria. This provides a more clear view of the graph and sees the patterns amongst the applicants who got waitlisted and admitted more evidently
As for the takeaways for the plot, one thing we noticed was that the majority of students that were accepted definitely leaned towards having a high GPA and a very high GMAT score. However, there were also a few students that were admitted that didn’t have as high of a GPA and GMAT as the other students and this would indicate that these students had other aspects of their application that made them stand out more as an applicant that made up for their lower scores. From this plot we can mainly take away that usually a student that is accepted has an overall GPA between a 3.2 and a 3.8 and has a GMAT score between 660 and 800. However, there are still a few expectations for this.
