College Acceptance Rate

High Level Design

Overview

Educational institutions, such as colleges and universities, need to constantly balance their need to fill their academic programs to increase income from enrollment with the desire to maintain high standards, which contributes to the institution's prestige and ability to receive more funding for research. Therefore, these institutions need a reporting tool which enables them to run sensitivity tests and recognize which programs fill/don’t fill capacity, what are the 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.

Goals

Increase revenue from enrollments while maintaining a high requirement threshold (Allocate necessary resources for applicants who meet minimum requirements but are denied to programs since there is no availability for them in the program)

Objectives

• Adjust requirements based on Acceptance rate
• Fill yearly capacity
