Project Description:

You work in the Admissions Office for a small regional university in Massachusetts Your assistant entered a list of college applicants for the Fall 2021 semester. You determine if a student qualifies for early admission or early rejection based on SAT and GPA. After determining the immediate admissions and rejections, you calculate a total score based on SAT and GPA to determine regular admissions and rejections.

Start   Excel. Download and open the file named Exp19_Excel_Ch07_ML1_Admissions.xlsx. Grader has automatically added   your last name to the beginning of the filename.

First, you want to calculate the   number of days between the Initial Deadline and the Date Received.
 

  In cell D11, insert the DAYS function using the Initial Deadline that is   stored in cell B8 and the Date Received that is stored in cell C11. Use mixed   and relative references correctly.

Copy the DAYS function from cell   D11 to the range D12:D67. A negative value indicates the application was   received after the initial deadline.

Next, you want to determine if a   student should be admitted early.
 

  In cell G11, insert the IF function with a nested AND function to display   either Yes   or No in the Admit Early column. The   university admits a student early if that student meets both the Early   Admission criteria for the SAT (cell B3) and GPA (cell B4). That is, the   student’s SAT score must be 1400 or higher, and the GPA must be 3.80 or   higher. Use relative and mixed references to the cells in the Admission   Criteria range. Based on the requirements, the first student, 2020005, will   be admitted early.

Now that you determined which   students are admitted early, you want to determine if a student should be   rejected early.
 

  In cell H11, enter the IF function with a nested OR function to display   either Yes   or No in the Reject Early column. The   university rejects a student early if that student has either an SAT score   less than 800 (cell C3) or a GPA below 1.80 (cell C4). Use relative and mixed   references to the cells in the Admission Criteria range.

Use column I to calculate an   applicant’s admission score.
 

  In cell I11, enter a formula to calculate an applicant’s admission score.   Multiply the GPA (cell F11) by the multiplier (cell B7) and then add that   result to the SAT score (cell E11). The first score is 3925. Use relative and   mixed references appropriately.

In column J, you want to display   Early Admission, Early Rejection, Admit, or Reject, respectively, to indicate   the final decision.
 

  In cell J11, enter the IFS function. If Admit Early is Yes, display the text Early   Admission. If   Reject Early is Yes, display the text Early Rejection. If the score is greater than the threshold score   in cell B6, display Admit. If the score is less than or equal to the threshold score in   cell B6, display Reject. Use mixed reference to cell B6.

You are ready to copy the   formulas down their respective columns.
 

  Copy the formulas down the Admit Early, Reject Early, Score, and Final   Decision columns. 

You want to enter formulas in   the Summary Data section to summarize key points. First, you want to   determine the number of Early Admissions and the number of Admits.
 

  In cell H3, insert the COUNTIF function to count the number of Early   Admissions in the range J11:J67. Use mixed reference for the Range argument   and use cell E3 as the condition. Copy the function to cell H4. It should   adjust automatically to count the number of Admit in the range J11:J67.

Next, you want to calculate the   average SAT score for Early Admissions.
 

  In cell I3, enter the AVERAGEIF function to calculate the average SAT score   in the range E11:E67 where Final Decisions in the range J11:J67 are Early   Admission. Use mixed references so that the row numbers in the ranges do not   change when copied down. Use a relative reference to cell E3 for the   condition.

You want to calculate the   average GPA score for Early Admissions.
 

  In cell J3, insert the AVERAGEIF function to calculate the average GPA in the   range F11:F67 where Final Decisions in the range J11:J67 are Early Admission.   Use mixed references so that the row numbers in the ranges do not change when   copied down. Use a relative reference to cell E3 for the condition.

Apply Number format with zero   decimal places to cell I3. Then, copy the functions in the range I3:J3 to the   range I4:J4.

You want to count the number of   applications that meet two conditions.
 

  In cell H5, insert the COUNTIFS function to count the total number of   applications that meet
  two conditions: Scores in the range I11:I67 are greater than or equal to 3500 and Final Decisions in the   range J11:J67 are Early Admissions (cell E3).

You want to count the number of   applications that meet two more conditions.
 

  In cell H6, insert the COUNTIFS function to count the number of applications   that meet
  two conditions: Residences in the range B11:B67 are In State and Final Decisions in the
  range J11:J67 are Early Admissions (cell E3).

You want to identify the highest   score based on two conditions.
 

  In cell H7, insert the MAXIFS function to identify the highest score in the   range I11:I67 that meets two conditions: Residences in the range B11:B67 are In State and Final Decisions in the   range J11:J67 are Early Admissions (E3).

In cell H8, insert the   AVERAGEIFS function to calculate the average score in the range I11:I67 that   meets two conditions: Residences in the range B11:B67 are In State and Final   Decisions in the range J11:J67 are *Adm*. Use the asterisks as wildcards so that it   includes both Early Admission and Admit.

In cell I5, insert the   AVERAGEIFS function to calculate the average SAT score that meets two   conditions: Scores in the range I11:I67 are greater than or equal to 3500 and Final Decisions in the   range J11:J67 are Early Admissions (cell E3). Use mixed references   appropriately.

In cell I6, insert the   AVERAGEIFS function to calculate the average SAT score that meets two   conditions: Residences in the range B11:B67 are In State and Final Decisions in the range   J11:J67 are Early Admissions (cell E3). Use mixed references appropriately.

Copy the functions from the   range I5:I6 to the range J5:J6.

You want to insert a map that   depicts admissions by state.
 

  Display the Map worksheet. Create a map chart from the range A1:B5. Change   the chart title to Admissions by State. Display the Format Data Series task pane and   select Only regions with data as the map area.

You want to place the top-left   corner of the map in cell C1 and change the map size.
 

  Cut the map and paste it in cell C1. Set 3.12″ height and 3.26″ width for the map.

Create a footer with your name   on the left side, the sheet name code in the center, and the file name code   on the right side on all sheets.
