Two colleges can admit the same share of applicants and graduate wildly different shares of them. Each bubble is a 4-year college: admit rate across the bottom, 6-year graduation rate up the side, bubble size is enrollment. Look at how far apart the bubbles sit vertically at any one admit rate — that gap is the difference the college itself makes.

Data: IPEDS graduation-rate figures for students who started college in 2021-2023, U.S. Department of Education, with those three years' worth of students pooled together. Figures for a racial or ethnic group are hidden where fewer than 30 students in that group are in the data. Selectivity tiers are calculated by this site from admission rate and test-score midpoints.
