Which is the best university for me?
Purpose
Raw Data
Criteria
Class Size
The formula I used for Class Size is X - 80. Let X stand for the Class Size of a particular school. The reason I subtracted 80, is because I believe that 80 people is a fair class size that allows you to have enough attention from the Professor, without getting lost "in the crowd."
Entrance Mark Requirement
The formula I used for Entrance Mark Requirement is X - 80. Let X stand for the Entrance Mark Requirement of a particular school. The reason I subtracted 80, i because I believe that 80% is a reasonable mark requirement, since it's not really easy to get, yet it's not almost unattainable either. It makes it challenging but not too easy.
Parental Rating
Acceptance Percentage
The formula I used for Acceptance Percentage is X - 75. Let X stand for the Acceptance Percentage of a particular school. The reason I subtracted 75, is because a 75% acceptance rate makes it moderately less difficult, while still having a higher standard.
School Population
The formula I used for School Population is X - 20,000. Let X stand for the Population of a particular school. The reason I subtracted 20,000 is because a school with a population of 20,000 students seems like an ideal population for me. It's not "too big," yet not "too small." I still want to go to a "busy" campus, yet I don't want it to be too overcrowded. I don't want to get lost "in the crowd."
