Example: Create Value Comparison Calculations for Applicant Scores

This example illustrates how to create value comparison calculations for student applicant scores. This example includes these calculations:
  • Constant Value
  • Value Comparison
Alma Mater University (AMU) rates an undergraduate applicant's likelihood for admission based on the grade point average (GPA) and SAT total on their application. Workday uses the GPA and SAT total to calculate an applicant score that maps to the rating on an applicant score scale.
GPA and SAT Total
Applicant Score
Rating
GPA greater than or equal to 3.0 AND SAT total greater than or equal to 1280.
10
Presumptive Admit
GPA greater than or equal to 3.0 AND SAT total less than 1280.
OR
GPA less than 3.0 AND SAT total greater than or equal to 1280.
5
Committee Review
GPA less than 3.0 AND SAT total less than 1280.
3
Presumptive Deny
To support higher-level calculations for student applicant scores, you need to create these value comparison calculations:
  • Cumulative GPA >= 3.0
  • Cumulative GPA < 3.0
  • SAT Total >= 1280
  • SAT Total < 1280
Create these constant value calculations in the Admissions category:
ADM: 3.0
,
ADM: 1280
.
