<p>I am curious if anybody knows where I can find the most accurate and recent acceptance rates for colleges.</p>
<p>Many college guidebooks differ in listing acceptance rates, even those printed during the same year, so I am not sure who to trust.</p>
<p>The CollegeBoard's college profiles on their website seem quite trustworthy, but I am not certain.</p>
<p>If anyone can solidify/disprove my notion regarding authenticity of the CollegeBoard's acceptance rate statistics, please let me know. Or if you know somewhere else where I can find accurate acceptance rates, please let me know.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, and apologies for monotonous use of the words "acceptance rates," hahah.</p>
<p>Aren’t collegeboard’s listings two years behind?</p>
<p>I just go with princeton review’s most recent book</p>
<p>Are the numbers really that different from year to year? And what do you plan to do with that info anyway? Seriously, unless you’re talking about considerably more than a 10% or so gap, it really won’t matter in making any decisions for an applicant, and VERY few colleges change that much in a small amount of time. There are much better things to concentrate on than the published year of acceptance rates, IMHO.</p>
<p>Actually numbers have changed quite radically at some of the top colleges in the last few years. Even some state schools saw 10% changes</p>
<p>Yeah I understand but since more and more people are applying to colleges each year and selectivity is growing I can’t help but be interested in acceptance rates. I myself will be applying to colleges come this coming school year so it’s heavy on my mind. Sorry if I bothered you so much with my question, you didn’t have to answer.</p>
<p>The most recently reported numbers are available from the Common Data Set (section C) at most colleges. Search for it on their web sites.</p>
