“I would encourage a colleague/friend to apply to Pratt for employment/admission”

On this key measure of satisfaction, respondents were asked to rate their agreement on a 1 to 5 scale

with 1 being “Strongly Agree,” 2 “Agree,” 3 “Neutral,” 4 “Disagree,” 5 “Strongly Disagree.”

While most responding groups had improved scores in 2013, none of the improvements

was statistically significant.
