senorbrightside Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Very cool. Thanks. I'm applying for Spanish and not sure if there are enough results to do that. SocCrmmm 1
GreenEyedTrombonist Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 If you happen to want to do this for Communication PhDs, that would be so amazing! In any case, very interesting and nice to see visual breakdowns. terministicscreenname and E-P 2

If this doesn't work out with the Arabic thing, I think I'm going to switch to Computer Science .... I wouldn't look at accepted/rejected ratio in this data because it is definitely biased. People are more likely to brag about accepts than rejects. And CS is crazy competitive. I am applying to CS and scared shitless.

Kingsouth Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 Damn I love graphs. Don't know why I'm now suddenly intrigued by the acceptance ratios of fields I've never even thought about, but either way, made my day.

Yeh I've noticed that. Your comments about the GRE and GPA data being unreliable rings true as I follow your work, that and I've also found that certain sets to be off (date wise) depending if those dates fall on certain days of the week. I also believe the data to be influenced by posts that either believe they would get into an institution, but were rejected, and the reverse for acceptances. These two groups seem the most likely to have posted their information. Comments attached usually reflect this observation. I say this in regards to mostly the humanities. In any case, love your work, keep it up and good luck with your applications!

If at all possible and time + energy allows. Yes, +1 to this if you have time to add that! Great work on what you've done so far, o.p. =) EDIT: whoops, didn't read all the way down the first page, just glanced at the o.p. and opened my big mouth! /embarrassed Edited January 29, 2018 by fortsibut
Aradhana94 Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 This is so good. Thank you for your effort! I would really love to see a Civil Engineering one though, if the data sets are sufficient.

LibraryLivingJT Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 Thanks for this! I know USC English is a long shot, but met one of my POIs this summer, and he helped with my app materials and wrote me a letter of rec for all programs I applied to, plus told the English committee that he strongly recommends my application. Good luck everyone!
