Consider the admissions process at your university. Your university’s admissions process involves the analysis of many variables to decide whom to admit to each year’s first-year class. Contact your admissions office and gather information on the variables used in the admissions process. As you recall from applying at your university, typical variables would include the high school attended, high school grade point average, and many others. (Do not be surprised if there are variables that your admissions office cannot provide.)

b. Provide an example of how your admissions office uses predictive analytics in the admissions process. Use the variables you have found in your example.

c. Provide an example of how your admissions office uses prescriptive analytics in the admissions process. Use the variables you have found in your example.
