<p>As it happens, AU publishes more data on its admissions process and results than any other university I know of. Take a look through this book <a href=“Office of Institutional Research and Assessment (OIRA) | American University | American University, Washington, DC…-Ed-ADRB-2.pdf%5B/url%5D”>Office of Institutional Research and Assessment (OIRA) | American University | American University, Washington, DC…-Ed-ADRB-2.pdf</a>, and you can chance yourself.</p>

<p>And you can do a pretty good job chancing yourself for most colleges and universities if you google the name of the institution and the phrase “common data set.” When you’ve found the institution’s common data set, look at section C for information on freshman admissions.</p>
