Clickable scatterplots
We’ve had scatterplots for some time now. Scatterplots, I think, are good for showing how scores cluster. In general, you’ll expect to see acceptances at the top right (highest GPA and highest SAT), with rejections beneath that and to the left. If you break down law school statistics, they tend to go by the numbers. However, if you look at some of the top schools for undergrad, it becomes clear that it’s not just a numbers game.
For example, you might see the UC Berkeley scatterplot and think, ‘How did that guy with the 4.0 2400 get rejected?’ Well, instead of searching the list of UC Berkeley applicants, you can just click on the dot to read his story, because each dot on the scatterplots now links to the user’s profile.
