College/University PDF listing school's statistics

Applying to College

Does anybody know the name of these forms, or how to find them? The college/university usually uploads it and it shows demographics, first-year/transfer acceptance rates, etc. Trying to use it as a resource.

Thanks.

Try this thread. It’s been running for many years, so you probably don’t want to start at the beginning:

Or just google a specific school and “common data set”. Most (though not all) schools make them publicly available.

If you want specific info on college crime stats, you can google Clery report, and the name of the college. These reports are mandatory. Not all colleges provide their CDS. In that case, you can often get reasonably good info about those colleges’ stats from the website College Data.

Some schools also have fact books that can provide some additional information.
