<p>Here is 2004-2005 data set for University of Cincinnati:
<a href="http://www.uc.edu/institutionalresearch/pdf_files/university_reports/common_data_sets/cds0405.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.uc.edu/institutionalresearch/pdf_files/university_reports/common_data_sets/cds0405.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Be advised, the standards for certain schools such as the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music and the School of Design, Art, Architecture, and Planning have much higher standards than the rest of the university at large.</p>

<p>I think your analysis that the applicant pool needs good advising because people dont have 1400's and are not valedictorians is a little off</p>

<p>44% percent of harvard's have SAT's lower than 1400, while 25 % of harvard's class does. I dont think that is way off at all. You cant expect an applicant pool to be same profile as the students at the school.</p>

<p>And it is unwise to believe that you have to be valedictorian to have a good shot. You don't.</p>

<a href="http://www.tufts.edu/ir/FACTBOOK%202005%20wv5.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.tufts.edu/ir/FACTBOOK%202005%20wv5.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>In general, going to a College or University web site - searching on "Common Data Set", "Institutional Research" or "Fact Book" will bring up the information they have posted. :)</p>

<p>Thank you all SO MUCH for this info! I was wondering if someone could post a link to this data on the Parents Forum, too. I think it's mandatory reading! I sure learned a lot about my D's school!</p>
