College Acceptance Rate

High Level Design

Overview

Educational institutions such as colleges and universities need to constantly balance between their desire to fill up their academic programs which would increase income from enrollment to maintaining high requirements which contributes to the institutions prestige and ability to receive more funding for research. Therefore, these institutions have a need for a reporting tool which enables them to run sensitivity tests and recognize which programs fill/don’t fill capacity, what are demands for each program etc. In addition, a reporting tool can also assist in recognizing programs with high demand so the institutions can allocate more resources to increase capacity

Objectives

• Adjust requirements based on Acceptance rate
• Fill yearly capacity
