Overview

Student Applicant reporting will offer data and analysis on undergraduate applicants allowing us to better understand the applicant pool, how it is changing over time, and our strategies and success in recruiting a strong and diverse student body. Applicant data can be integrated with data on current students to provide more insight into varying outcomes for our students. It can also be integrated with financial aid information to better understand the effectiveness of our aid offerings.

In 2011 the Cal Answers team released an initial undergraduate applicant dashboard.  Further data investigation and source system changes prompted the Cal Answers team to update and expand the existing data.

Providing insight to critical campus goals

  • Diversity: Does the campus attract a diverse pool of applicants?
  • Acceptance Rate: What is the trend of acceptance rate over time?
  • International: What is the trend for International Student applications? 
  • Enrollment: What are characteristics of students who do and do not choose to matriculate?
