Sports and Academics Predictor

BU Athletics is interested in understanding how well a student will perform academically during their time at Boston University based on the student's high school GPA, geography, demographics, language proficiency for international students, what they choose to study, and standardized exam score. This will help BU Athletics understand 1) how they can better support future student athletes and 2) to assist our coaches in the recruiting process to understand if/where a student may struggle or thrive as a part of our community. The goal is to identify how we can better support future student-athletes by finding trends in areas where students may struggle or excel within the Boston University community. You will be provided with data from students who have already graduated, including information such as race, college, high school GPA, hometown, and semester GPA. This data needs to be analyzed to identify trends in the success or struggles of athletes. If time permits, students can also explore creating a basic regression model to make predictions based on the trained dataset. **Please note you will not be measuring athletic performance related to admissions data and instead will focus on academic performance.**
