<p>Does anyone know if the freshman class statistics that colleges post on their websites are from the students that actually enrolled or for the students that were offered admission regardless of whether or not they enrolled?</p>
<p>enrolled (+chars)</p>
<p>chars??..i did not understand...</p>
<p>I think you are talking about yeild (what percentage of the admitted class actually enrolled). You can find this information on the US news best college guides.</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>You can do the math take the # of admitted students and divide it by the number of students admitted.</p>
<p>Chars is short for characters. CC requires at least 10 characters in a post, so people will add some sort of notation to indicate that is what they are doing--adding characters.</p>
<p>Sorry I meant,</p>
<p>You can do the math take the # of students enrolled and divide it by the number of students admitted.
You can find this informtion from the school's common data sets</p>
<p>it is already there on all school's data sets.... there is a thread having data set of all majoor univ and small ones too...... check it.....</p>
<p>my question is ..are the avarages scores posted for the students that they offered admission to (including those who did not enroll) or is is it the avaerage of the students that accepted admission?</p>
<p>i hope i make myself more clear...</p>
<p>I think it's the avarages scores of the students that they offered admission</p>
<p>In most cases, the stats will be for enrolled (matriculated) students, possibly with some information left out (eg., students that did not submit scores as part of their application). Typically, the stats for accepted students will average a good bit higher than for enrolled students. USC used to have both sets of stats on their website - don't know if it is still there or not - might be google cached somewhere.</p>
<p>Enrolled. The ones who put in the deposit to attend the school.</p>
<p>Enrolled. The ones who put in the deposit to attend the school.</p>
<p>Slight nitpick, enrolled is not those who sent the deposit, but more precisely those who showed up, registered, and were enrolled on the day set aside as the Official Count day.</p>
<p>You can run all the stats on people who deposited, but they aren't all going to end up in the class. Things happen, people double-deposit and don't show, people get off wait lists. Official statistics on the freshman class should be on official enrolled students only.</p>
<p>some colleges specifically say ' admitted students stats' and then they give ethnic and geographic info for 'enrolled students'...sounds like they differentiate between the two...just makes me think that it may be possible to get in with lower stats than what they advertise...just a thought...</p>
<p>Some schools report the admitted stats which are lower than actually enrolled students. Howeer, the common data sets generally report enrolled freshman stats. The same is the case for the usnews.com best colleges subscription section. It provides admission stats including:</p>
<p>acceptance rates
ed rate
% of class accepted ED (with several exceptions, WUSTL)
SAT and GPA breakdown of enrolled freshman</p>
<p>ya it is for enrolled freshman that is.. ones that shows the quality of class attending or supposedly attending</p>
<p>Some of the schools show data for enrolled students, some show them for accepted (Duke does this, and I think that the SAT difference between enrolled/accepted is usually about 20 pts), it's usually mentioned somewhere on the admissions site. Collegeboard and USNews data is always for enrolled students</p>
<p>OK I admit this is a kind of silly way of looking at things, but do you think one could identify the "ultimate safety school" as the one with the largest difference between the "admitted" and "enrolled" average SAT scores. Any guesses? I'll betcha colleges, as a rule, don't like to publish those stats.</p>
<p>I don't understand your question. </p>
<p><em>thinks</em></p>
<p><em>rereads</em></p>
<p>Oooh, I think I do now! However, I don't think SAT scores really matter. Admittedly, yes, the SAT's of matriculated students are higher than accepted students, for most schools, but it's not really significant. I think admissions/enrolled rates are good enough. So, for example, a school admits about 87% percent or something, but only 23% enroll... Hmmm. Sorry I'm slightly incoherent. Late here.</p>
<p>That's a rather interesting way of lookin' at it! And I suppose one could define the "ultimate safety school" as such. :p</p>
<p>If enrolled are about half of the admitted, then would spaces in the university not full? because 1/2 of the admitted students, who should have gone to the univeristy, did not go to the university. Get what I mean?</p>
