cs/ - Contains all results with the query "computer*" - 27,822 results all/ - Contains all results with the query "u*" (experimentally the most you can get with one query) - 271,807 results

Schema

The schema of the all.csv file which contains all the content on GradCafe and the allgrad table in all.sql is:

Column Name Type Description
rowid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY A unique integer ID identifying the row. There are 271,807 rows.
uni_name TEXT The name of the university. The uncleaned field is user-supplied, and very noisy, containing 10,297 distinct strings. The cleaned version reduces this number to 2708. 98.5% of university names are clean.
major TEXT The intended major. This field isn't cleaned and is user-supplied and also noisy. It contains 18,957 distinct strings, the most common of which are "Computer Science", "Economics" and "English".
degree TEXT(5) The degree to be earned. This field is cleaned and takes the following values: "PhD", "MS", "MEng", "MBA", "MFA", "MA", and "Other". The top 3 are "PhD", "MS" and "Other".
season TEXT(3) The season is a three letter string of the form [SF][0-9]{2}. "S" is for admission into the Spring semester and "F" represents Fall. The two numbers represent the year for which admission is being sought.
decision TEXT(15) The decision being reported. This field takes the following values: "Accepted", "Rejected", "Wait listed", "Interview" and "Other".
decision_method TEXT(15) The method in which the decision was reported. The field takes the following values: "E-mail", "Website", "Phone", "Postal Service" and "Other".
decision_date TEXT(10) The date the decision was made in the form "dd-mm-yyyy".
decision_timestamp INTEGER The timestamp since epoch that the decision was made.
ugrad_gpa FLOAT The candidate's self-reported undergraduate GPA. Typically on a 4.0 scale, but often scores on 10.0 scales are reported with no clear disambiguation.
gre_verbal INTEGER The candidate's self-reported GRE Verbal score. If is_new_gre is 1, this field should be between 130 and 170 inclusive. If 0, then it should be between 200 and 800 exclusive.
gre_quant INTEGER The candidate's self-reported GRE Quantitative score. If is_new_gre is 1, this field should be between 130 and 170 inclusive. If 0, then it should be between 200 and 800 exclusive.
gre_writing FLOAT The candidate's self-reported GRE Writing score. It is on a scale of 0.0 to 6.0.
is_new_gre INTEGER Whether or not the candidate took the new GRE examination (where scores range from 130 to 170) or not.
gre_subject INTEGER The candidate's self-reported GRE Subject Test score. It can range in the 900s. Presumably, given that this is a CS dataset, I'd assume the subject in question is Computer Science.
status TEXT(28) The status of the candidate. Can take on 4 different values - "American", "International", "International with US degree" and "Other".
post_data TEXT(10) The date on which this report was posted by the candidate in the form "dd-mm-yyyy".
post_timestamp INTEGER The timestamp since epoch that the post was made.
