This line chart illustrates the number of inquiries the University admissions office received during a six-month period (January, February, March, April, May, and June) in 2021.
Overall, it is clear that the inquiries made in person and by telephone experienced an increase during this time, while the number of inquiries received by email and letter has shown a massive decrease.
Let us take a look at the detail; in-person inquiries sharply rose from 400 to 1600, while inquiries made by telephone showed a more gradual increase. Initially, telephone inquiries declined slightly from 800 to 400 before increasing to 1000 in the third month. The number remained at this level for the months of April and then showed a huge upsurge to 1600 in June.
In contrast, it can be seen that the requests by email showed an opposite trend; they steadily decreased from 800 to 300 over the six-month period.
