This may have already been asked, in which case please pardon my ignorance, but on some of the admission graphs, in the GPA distribution there's a light red, and no green - what's the light red signify?

Thanks!

It's kind of a kick in the **** that so many Comm applicants with 4.0s get rejected.

There can be bias in self-reported scores, because rejected people with good scores may be salty. That's why I was mostly interested in timelines.

Yeah.  I choose to believe that the 4.0s who are totally secure and confident and not at all worried get accepted and don't post here.

This is amazing. Could you do timelines for cognitive psychology and social psychology? (phd) Thank you so much

 

[PsychedSloth]

Is there enough data for Master of Public Health and/or Master's Psychology? Thanks for doing these! They're very interesting to look at.

[dlk527]

Wow! Thanks! Any chance you could Social Psychology PhD or Experimental Psychology PhD? 

[whatdidigetinto]

Any chance you can do one for masters of social work?

Hey, thanks again for doing these. I was just wondering if there was anyway to get a bit more granularity for the timelines? For some of the schools (CS programs), there’s a massive spike in reports in early February. It’ll be incredible if we can get the exact date of the spike, so that we can keep an eye out. Right now, it’s a bit vague so there’s a need to ballpark the date of the spike.

 

It’s no problem, and I totally understand if it’s too much work, and you would prefer not to do this. Thank you so much for everything you’ve done so far!

This is great--is there any chance you have data for Composition/Rhetoric & Composition Phds?

[lord_commander]

Great work!. Can you also provide the data for Mechanical/Aerospace Phds?

Thanks in advance.

I checked data and these are kinda specific programs (about several hundred observations for all universities). It is just too granular. Sorry.

Good point, I was thinking of this. As of now, I want to keep it as is -- otherwise, it will require generating everything again. Also, bear in mind that this data is based on 5-year period, so these spikes maybe for the particalar year in admissions.

Is there enough data to do one for epidemiology?

Thanks for doing this!!

[surprise_quiche]

@there_is_a_wait_so_long  you are a hero. thanks for the Comms data!

[AB121212]

Any chance at all that you could do Audiology (AuD) and Speech Language Pathology (MA)? 

[AspiringGC]

Would be cool to see a genetic counseling spread too! Wish I was cool enough to know enough to put one together myself

[xisan92]

This looks great! Thanks a lot for this. If possible, can you make a similar plot for Earth Science,  Atmospheric Sciences, and Oceanography?

Second this! If there's enough good reporting, I would love to see the Geology spread. 

Thanks for making these- even though the posted ones are not my discipline, still cool to see!

Thank you!!
