<p>How accurate/telling is that sites description of a schools admissions process? (very important factors vs. important factors, etc)</p>
<p>For example... For Lehigh GPA is not included, and class rank is only under the "considered" catigory... what does this mean for an applicant??</p>
<p>Not accurate. Take all that info with a grain of salt. Also, I don't think they've updated many of the schools based on the admissions data for this year yet so the SAT ranges and admit rates might be inaccurate.</p>
<p>Isn't that just from there Common Data Set?</p>
<p>VADude is correct. The information on the College Board site is taken directly from each school's self-reported information. Therefore, assume it is reliable. There is no reason for a school to say something is or isn't important in their admissions decisions, unless it really is. Bad is correct, however, in that there is usually a lag time before the most updated GPA and SAT data is updated, not just on the College Board site, but all college information sites and in guidebooks too.</p>
<p>going beyond the stats given by collegeboard... I' was wondering about their lists of admissions factors... they detail what a school thinks is "very important", "important", and "considered" in admissions... is this truly revealing of a schools decision making process?</p>
<p>Again, that's just from their common data sets, which the colleges themselves put out.</p>
<p>so in other words it is pretty reliable, correct?</p>
<p>very reliable.</p>
