<p>Okay, this is a real stupid question but I am having brain lock on this. The students that were accepted into the class of 2013 at a particular college, the ones going to school this fall, will they be listed under the 2008-2009 data? I just want to get the most current data. Thanks!</p>

325

<p>IIRC, from reading this thread and elsewhere, the class of 2013’s data will not be firmed up until about a week after school starts, and the school websites are usually updated by the beginning of the second semester with that information.</p>

</p>

<p>No, the Common Data Set 2008-09 includes data about degree-seeking, first-time, first-year students who applied, were admitted, and enrolled (full- or part-time) in the fall of 2008. That means the Class of 2012. This is the same data that will be used by U.S. News in its 2010 edition of America’s Best Colleges. </p>

<p>The America’s Best Colleges 2009 edition rankings went live on August 22, 2008 and covered the Class of 2011.</p>

<p>For the Class of 2013, you will need the Common Data Set 2009-10 and the US News’ America’s Best Colleges 2011 edition to be published in the summer of 2010. </p>

<p>Confused enough?</p>

<p>xiggi, thanks for the info. I am curious how early the 2009-2010 might be made available by individual colleges. My daughter will be a senior so it would be great to see the admissons information for the most recently admitted class of an individual college. I know the guidebooks generally lag but I was hoping that the information would be available sooner by a specific school.</p>

328

<p>The earliest would be September-October. Between November and February, there are many additions. </p>

<p>Of course, there are still colleges and universities that think the public should be on a need to know basis. :)</p>

<p>hats off to Williams for setting a new bar on transparency. Just stumbled across a Williams web site that contains all of their “guidebook” submissions, including US News. Much of the info is already contained in the CDS, but there appears to be more…for instance, in my quick perusal, info on faculty expenditures, stats on alumni giving, and much more. Have at it:
[Williams</a> College - College Guidebook Submissions](<a href=“http://www.williams.edu/admin/provost/ir/guidebooks/]Williams”>http://www.williams.edu/admin/provost/ir/guidebooks/)</p>

<p>[note: I found this site while googling, but it does not appear to be visible on Williams’ IR page, so perhaps they do not mean this to be public (yet)?]</p>

330

<p>PC, I feel so guilty not having sent you that link when it was first posted. I believe this a case of a broken link at the IR office because it used to be visible. Since I had it bookmarked, I did not realize the link had vanished. </p>

<p>One of the great benefits of the Information Sharing Center is that it did show the entire USNews survey (except for the much maligned PA Survey.) </p>

<p>To my knowledge, this is the only school that has done this to such extent.</p>

331

<p>Embry Riddle isn’t a real post setter, I can’t get much about there stats</p>

332

<p>thank you so much!</p>

333

<p>Awesome, thanks!</p>

334

<p>Well it really doesn’t cost much to apply to a school. You just shell out another application fee and some time in putting together essays. Most people apply to Harvard for the sake of applying to Harvard, and what’s wrong with that?</p>

335

<p>Hi Cali4nia,</p>

<p>At first I though your post was a non sequitor. Then I looked back on Page One of this thread.

If you were responding to the interesteddad post on Harvard Applications on page one of this thread; those comments were left four years ago.</p>

<p>So you probably won’t get a reply from him.</p>

<p>But in answer to: “what’s wrong with that?”</p>

<p>I would say nothing; as long as you can afford the application fee and recognize the likely futility of the effort. :)</p>

<p>Dad’o’2 - Thanks for the advice on how to find common data set info on collegedata. I love it. I was curious about one piece of info I found. When reporting the average indebtedness for graduates of 2007, are they reporting total for 4 years or average for 1 year? For instance, at Brown the average indebtedness for 2007 graduates was $18,610. That can’t be for 4 years, can it???</p>

337

<p>… where have I been? I’ll eat my hat…HARVARD has posted 2 years of CDS’. I simply can’t believe it…</p>

<p>[The</a> Office of the Provost |](<a href=“http://www.provost.harvard.edu/institutional_research/data_center.php]The”>http://www.provost.harvard.edu/institutional_research/data_center.php)</p>

338

<p>^ Transparency is a good thing (and a surprise in that case).</p>

339

<p>They don’t answer any of the Wait List questions, other than they have one and it’s not ranked, but posting the CDS is a start :)</p>

<p>Now if only Washington U in St Louis and Duke U would start posting their CDS ;)</p>

<p>can any1 help me find the vanderbilt cds, the link takes you a login thingy so only students, faculty, etc… can log in and if i was a student there i wouldn’t need that info anymore</p>
