Ever since I started in admissions, people have been talking about demographics changes and challenges, and the chant continues. The future, we're told, will look very different than the present.
Our trade paper, the Chronicle of Higher Education, ran an article about how this might affect higher education. It included lots of interesting charts and graphs, but didn't allow me to look at the data in the ways I wanted to. So I downloaded it and started looking at it using Tableau.
This is as much a testament to self-service BI as it is to the trends in the data. I've often spoken about the 80/80 rule of business intelligence: 80% of what an analyst gives you, you don't need; 80% of what you want isn't in the report. I spent a long time playing with and slicing this data to see if I could find a way to present it that makes sense, and that gives people what they want. And every time I answered a question, I generated several more ("what if" can waste a lot of time.")
In the end, after several different views, I settled on the first one, below. It's very simple, yet it gives you the flexibility find out most of what you need.
On the chance that you want or need something else, though, I kept the other views I had been experimenting with.
View 2: Maps and Details allows you to see the data mapped; once you filter to a region, you can see how states compare.
View 3: Changes with a State over Time looks at the same data four ways: Numbers, percent change, percent of total, and numeric change by ethnicity.
View 4: Counties Mapped allows you to select a state and see where concentrations of ethnicities live; choose a state, choose the ethnic group and age of the population, and see the results.
View 5: States and Counties shows ethnic percentages for every county, listed by state.
View 6: Counties shows all counties regardless of state. Did you know there are 40 counties in the US where every 18-year old is white? Or that one county in South Dakota is 98% Native American?
Some notes about the data are on the CHE website. Be sure to read them so you know what this shows and doesn't show.
Again, remember to interact. You can't break anything.

Yesterday's big news, of course, was the announcement of "The Coalition," the curiously-named group of about 80 colleges and universities making for very strange bedfellows. I wrote a little bit about it here.
Today I came across a little data set that contained information about Pell graduation rates and non-Pell graduation rates, and I thought it an interesting opportunity to look at it in light of yesterday's news. So, over my lunch hour, I did (yes, this software is really that easy to use. You should try it out.)
It's presented here in Tableau Story Points. Just use the gray boxes across the top to look at the different views of the data. Most of it should be self-explanatory, but if not, leave a comment and I'll reply to it.
FYI, there were several schools from "The Coalition" who did not supply Pell Grant Grad Rate data. In alpha order, they are:
Columbia (NY)
Hamilton (NY)
Harvard (MA)
Rutgers (NJ)
And you can ask them why they didn't. I would never speculate about such things. (Olin College of Engineering did not provide data claiming their sample size was too small.)

Maybe you're too young to remember the Ronald Reagan presidency, but one of the things I remember most is the "Peacekeeper Missile." People were incensed by what they believed to be political doublespeak worthy of the book 1984. Missiles were objects of destruction, not something you associated with peace. Change the language, change the discussion.
So today, this happened. In what Inside Higher Ed is calling "An Admissions Revolution," eighty of the country's top colleges have formed a "Coalition," (a nice political sounding word: I mean, they form coalitions in Canada, so it must be nice, right?) to create a new application as well as a new portfolio system for students, who can start as early as the 9th grade, to assemble documents and other resources, not unlike my suggestion about Google managing the application process. The goal, ostensibly, is to get more low-income and first generation students interested and ready to go to college, and to apply to these mostly-selective institutions.
This sounds great, right? Right? You'd think so.
Of course, if you know anything about college admissions, your first question might be this: Today, one day after the announcement, which group is probably more aware of The Coalition? A) first generation, low-income, students of color from under-resourced high schools, or B) white students of wealthier, college-educated families who already being planning for college at--or well before--the 9th grade. I'll give you a moment.
In an industry already obsessed with prestige, this sounds like a club that won't take just anyone as a member, unlike the Common App, which has recently--God help us all--begun to allow colleges to determine for themselves what admissions criteria are important.
The collective gasp from the super selective members of Common App sounded like a Rockefeller in the presence of someone who extended the wrong pinkie finger when drinking tea. "We just can't have these, these, Commoners, in the Common App," they decided without discerning a hint of irony, and they started their own country club, which of course, will do the requisite charity work one expects of any decent country club.
The standards for membership are fairly arbitrary: A 70% graduation rate for all members; for privates, a pledge to meet "demonstrated need," (a patently ridiculous term both in definition and in the way it's practiced) and for publics, "affordable tuition for and need-based aid for in-state students."
Does that seem backwards to you? Shouldn't public institutions, which I believe were generally founded by the public for the public, be held to a higher standard of serving, you know, the public they're supposed to serve? And of course, remember my frequent rant that high graduation rates are an input, not an output. Even as blunt an instrument as US News and World report recognizes that if you enroll more Pell grant recipients, your graduation rate will drop.
Which brings me to the last point. These institutions are, for the most part, selected from the institutions that a) have the most resources, b) charge the most, and c) enroll the fewest Pell grant kids. Is this new application, which fragments the process even further, and clearly--not even possibly, but clearly--favors wealthier kids really the answer?
Or is the name--The Coalition for Access, Affordability and Success--just a political ploy from institutions that don't really seem to know much about access in the first place? A new take on the Peacekeeper Missile? An homage to 1984?
Look at this, showing about 1700 four-year private and public institutions, each as a bubble. The Coalition institutions are in red, everyone else in gray. Colleges to the right have higher median SAT scores in the freshman class (another proxy for wealth, of course); colleges lower on the chart have fewer Pell grant kids as a percentage of all freshmen. Larger dots are wealthier. Hover over any dot for details about that college.
The the two-bar chart on the top shows Pell Grant enrollment.
There is one filter, to allow you to look at all institutions, just public, or just private. Go ahead, click. See if it makes much difference. And remember:
“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” “It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.”

Hi, I just want to share this kawaii Japanese song I'm raving lately. I accidentally found this on Spotify while looking for something to perk up my mood while studying. Yep, studying...sometimes I need some background music while studying but only those songs I don't understand or I'm not familiar with. So that I won't be able to sing-a-long and get distracted. When listening to foreign songs like Jpop, I am more particular on the beat of the song and this one caught my attention and found myself LSS (Last Song Syndrome) and decided to find the lyrics and can't find one. Unfortunately, the lyrics is only in Japanese characters and I don't know how to read the thing. Good thing, Romajidesu will translate Japanese characters into Romaji though the English translation is really bad. Well, I'm not really into the English meaning but more on the lyrics so I can sing-a-along with it and share it with my friend and maybe we can sing it together some other time. LOL! Anyway, I was a bit surprised when I watched the music video since the leading lady in the video is chubby which is great for teens or girls to look up to. That no matter what dress size or body type you have, summer is for everybody and anyone can find their summer time love no matter how you look. Everyone has that someone out there. Just go out, enjoy life and be what you are.
Summer Time Love

Hey there my fellow readers. I'm trying my very best to write as much as possible in this blog. Anyway, I just want to share with you guys my thoughts on Astrology. I noticed that men are not really into astrology compared to women. I strongly believe that there's something in astrology that connects with us. I believe that from the moment we are born we are already destined to some sort of happenings to our life. But it doesn't mean we will have to conform with astrology all the time. In my own perception, astrology is mostly based on psychology but I have no authority to claim this. In my own understanding, Astrology sets out the basic characteristics of an individual according to their birth signs. This way we have a guide on how to deal with these kind of people like in the approach use in psychology. In my case, I only believe in astrology when it comes to dealing with people but not with predicting what will happen in the future. Nobody can predict the future unless it has some prior circumstances in the past which can lead you to predict a possible outcome (e.g. Studying in advance combined with discipline will get you good grades in the future examinations). Moreover, I use astrology when I have a hard time making decisions. Sometimes, when I feel powerless and most of the time I hate to overthink on things I have no control with, I conform to astrology to help me resolve some minor problems. I think astrologers are like the fun version of psychologist. The former have a much more cheaper and easier approach than the latter. I notice that Western and Asians Astrology approach are very different. Simply because Asians have a different way of life compared to Westerners. The horoscope will only affect you if you apply it on your life. It 's really a matter of choice if you let the horoscope influence you in your decision making ability. In the end, it all really depends on you, on how you live your life.
Anyway, I just want to share this cute song about the different zodiac signs by Beyonce.

On my train ride in this morning, I saw an article posted on Twitter about Pell Graduation rates at the 80 largest universities in America. If you want to look at a boring table of static data, just click here.
But I wanted to see if there were any patterns, so I copied the table, pasted it into Excel and then opened in Tableau to visualize it. I think it tells an interesting story, although the data set is unfortunately limited, and with no key to merge the data with another set, it loses some potential.
Start by looking at the first view. For each institution, there are three columns: The overall six-year graduation rate; the six-year graduation rate of Pell recipients, and the spread, with the values on spread sorted from low to high. In this instance, a negative number means Pell students graduate at a higher rate than the student body overall, and a positive number means just the opposite. As you scroll down the list from top to bottom, ask yourself what makes the pattern make sense? There are dozens, but all I could see was, "football," but you might see "big public research university." Or something else all together.
If you want to sort by another column, hover over the axis until the little icon pops up and click away. The "reset" at lower left does just what it says it does.
The second view (on the tabs across the top) shows the Pell graduation rate scattered against the percentage of freshmen with Pell. The bubbles are colored and sized by spread (blue and large are good for Pell students; red and small, not so much.) Right away you see the pattern: If you enroll fewer Pell students, your Pell graduation rate is higher. My hypothesis would be that more selective institutions (who have higher graduation rates overall) a) simply select the most capable from among the poor students they admit, and b) have more resources to fund the smaller percentage of low-income students.
What do you see?

Take a look at this visualization using National Science Foundation Data (this link downloads the data for you in Excel as Table 14). What you see over time is a dramatic increase in the number of women who earned doctorates since 1983, but also a shift in the percentage distributions. Women are now the majority in Life Sciences, Education, and Social Sciences, and close to dead even with men in all fields except Physical Sciences and Engineering.
The second view (using the tabs across the top) shows doctorate by broad discipline over time. Use the filter at the top to compare men and women, or to see the totals. Note the tremendous percentage growth in women in engineering since 1983: From 124 to 2,051, an increase of over 1,500%.
While it's not necessarily true that most doctoral recipients work in higher education, it's true that higher education gets most of its instructional faculty from doctoral recipients; the long, slow trend (assuming it will continue, or even just stabilize) means there are some interesting changes in store in the higher education labor force in the coming decades. It's possible college faculty will look very different 20 years from now
What do you think?
P.S. You might also be interested in this, showing bachelor's attainment over time.
