To get into DS30, the team worked with data about either fish counts in the UK or restaurant inspections in New York. They all went with a long-form storytelling type of viz. Have a look for inspiration for your own application.

When you make it to the final interviews, there are four possible outcomes, three of which are positive: 1. You get offered a spot in the cohort you are interviewing for. 2. You get offered a spot in a future cohort. 3. You get asked back for the final interviews for the next cohort. 4

With DS4 finishing this week and cohort 5 starting in less than two weeks, I thought it would be useful to see what it took for DS5 to get into The Data School. As part of the application process, we require people to submit something in Tableau Public. This can be with any data set they want
