RE: Survey on prerequisites vs. DWF rate [HAPP-L]

["Weck, Margaret" <mweck@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I had, in fact, temporarily forgotten what other "audiences" this information might be used to persuade.  Now that you mention it, I do recall this attitude on the part of some administrators in some publicly funded institutions.

The reason I thought "state" and "country" might be a good idea is
because--believe it or not--there are administrators out there that
believe that only institutions within their own state are pertinent
while comparing these sorts of data.  However, whatever you'all think is
best...... :)

Different states have different entrance requirements for their 2 and 4
year institutions.  Some states require that all state schools admit
anyone (even to the 4-yr schools and professional programs) with a valid
high school diploma from that state, while other states have ACT and GPA
admissions requirements for some state schools and not others.  One
would presume that the fail and drop-out rates might be correlated to
the admissions criteria in some way.  So maybe the admissions criteria
would be the more pertinant data, rather than just the State.
