An Analysis of the Admission Trends in Universities in Chiba Prefecture

Abstract

This study aims to analyze university admission trends in the Chiba prefecture. The government decided to keep limited numbers of those entering a university in twenty-three wards of Tokyo. The policy’s aim is to not admit too many Tokyo students. Admission in a university in the Chiba prefecture is affected by admission to university in Tokyo because the Chiba prefecture is next to the capital, Tokyo. This study analyzes successful candidate and enrollment student data by comparing the data from Chiba Prefecture and Tokyo. The results indicate that successful candidates have high academic abilities that increase in the Chiba Prefecture; however, student enrollment is decreased. Nevertheless, student enrollment is increased in Tokyo
