<p>As some of you incoming freshman are aware, U-M is participating in the College Board's "Admitted Student Questionnaire." It's a survey designed to ask about the college choice process, what mattered to you, where you applied, where you got in, and so on.</p>
<p>It would be a big help to your future alma mater if you could respond. Students should have already gotten an invitation by email (to fill out the web survey), or received a paper survey in the mail.</p>
<p>If you've already responded, thanks for taking the time to do so.</p>
<p>Just a friendly reminder from your resident data geek and social science research nerd.</p>
<p>What are they doing with these questionnaires in related to the collegeboard? Just basically showing where students with certain stats got accepted?</p>
<p>I've already completed and submitted. I guessing it's a way for UM to compare itself to its competitors since it asked everything from test scores to college preferences based on cost, living conditions, quality, etc.</p>
<p>Yes, they look at cross-apps and cross-admits. They also look at how we do in enrolling students vis-a-vis the competition. U-M's "win rate" against MSU is different than its "win rate" against Cornell, obviously. They also consider how students say they perceived U-M, what was important to them in choosing a college, etc. U-M does this survey periodically but has not conducted it since before the admissions process changed.</p>
<p>Other institutions do the ASQ, so it's possible a student may be invited to fill it out multiple times. It's for all students were admitted, even those who elected to enroll somewhere else.</p>
