Where is the data in the scatergrams from and how was it obtained? Is it a small group of selected students, or does it represent all students who applied? Thank you.
The data is self reported by college applicants who are Cappex members. It represents a small percentage of actual applicants, but there are enough data points to give a clear sense of the grade and score ranges for accepted, rejected, and waitlisted students.
