Largest Opportunities– Largest influence is graduation rate

(25.5%). IUPUI’s is the lowest in its ranking peers, and the difference between the predicted and actual is the largest

– Assessment scores are highest among ranking peers, but given other metrics these are likely primary reasons why IUPUI is now top tier. Second largest weighting (22.5%).

– Together, these account for almost half (48%) of the rankings.

Other Opportunities– SAT percentiles contribute a modest amount

(7.5%), and may change with new admission standards

– % of Classes with 20 or fewer have room to move up. We could fall given increased enrollment

– % of bachelor-degree alumni who are donors is a modest variable (5%); we do well compared to our ranking peers but could grow with concerted effort

– Freshmen retention is low influence (4.5%), but would be essential to improve graduation

– % in top 10% is low for peer ranking group, but coordinated effort could increase
