<p>Richcas, glad to see you are still hard at work. hope you will be around next year, as my 2nd son starts his search. Sadly, my first born is in the process of transferring away from Hamilton College - too small too isolated to far away from home in Boston. its been a tough year…)</p>
<p>Hi Bristolstomp,</p>
<p>I update the list from time to time; and Papa Chicken (and others to numerous to name) also add a lot of new links and help to fix the broken links, so it’s a collective effort. :)</p>
<p>Someone just resurrected the Wait List thread from 2005 that was the Genesis of this list of CDS links that became this Thread.

and I found a link to the CDS at California State University Long Beach

<p>Hope both of your children find Colleges that are a good fit for them, where they can thrive!!</p>
<p>Hello…I am wondering if anyone has been able to find the CDS info for Syracuse University or Otterbein…i can’t seem to locate it. Is it optional for schools to have this info available?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>I don’t see the CDS posted on their site either.

But they do have a report generator that lets you organize data in various ways.

<p>They don’t seem to have their CDS posted on their website.

<p>There’s no “requirement” that the Common Data Set be posted.
It’s up to each Institution to decide how open they will be with their information.</p>

<p>Many years ago, I saw a website where one could look at admission statistics by students name or college name, etc…a very useful tool to see what the students accomplishments were abnd which colleges he /she was admitted, deferred, rejected, etc…the name had ‘sothwest’ in it…not sure exactly</p>
<p>Pleading ignorance-- what are you folks postulating is the specific reason Penn won’t share their CDS? (Plese dont simply respond that they are hiding numbers)</p>
<p>Updated Link [Common</a> Data Set | Middlebury](<a href=“Assessment and Institutional Research | Middlebury”>Assessment and Institutional Research | Middlebury)</p>
<p>When will colleges release the Common Data Set for this year (2010-2011)?</p>
<p>The 2010-2011 CDS will have the data for the class entering in the Fall of 2010.</p>
<p>The Colleges need to see who actually shows up on campus.</p>
<p>So the CDS postings should start showing up around November 2010</p>
<p>Thanks for continuing to post these links. </p>
<p>To answer the question above, yes, colleges have to base all their Common Data Set figures on ENROLLED students, and they don’t know who those are until after the school year starts. Most colleges have a set date (it is often ten days after the school year starts, or something like that varying a little from college to college) after which the count of students becomes official. Many colleges take a while to gather their data. I still was getting new data for the most recently reported year from some colleges after January, which seems a bit late to me, but that’s how slowly some colleges post their data.</p>
<p>but Duke has posted a CDS form :)</p>
<p>[Office</a> of the Provost | Institutional Research](<a href=“http://ir.provost.duke.edu/facts.html]Office”>http://ir.provost.duke.edu/facts.html)</p>
<p>It says 2009-2010 but the form is for 2008-2009.</p>

<p>xiggi- wow, Harvard last year, now Duke. On a whim, guess what I just found?? Penn!!</p>
<p>[Penn:</a> Institutional Research & Analysis](<a href=“http://www.upenn.edu/ir/Common%20Data%20Set.html]Penn:”>http://www.upenn.edu/ir/Common%20Data%20Set.html)</p>
<p>of course, no history for CDS’s of past years, but I am still amazed.</p>
<p>First thing I look at in a CDS is the Wait List Data:</p>
<p>Duke’s CDS only says: Yes (we use a wait list)
Maybe they will give more details on that in the future.</p>
<p>I can’t get the University of Pennsylvania CDS to open up.
I get an error message saying that a certain font is unavailable and the pages may not print properly. Then the error message says to inform the person that posted the page.</p>
<p>With Duke and Pennsylvania posting their CDS this year I just had to check Washington University in St Louis - but I still could’t find a CDS posted there.
and their web page for Institutional data says: " *Access to this site requires a WUSTL IP address " [Institutional</a> Data](<a href=“http://research.wustl.edu/about/Pages/InstitutionalData.aspx]Institutional”>Institutional Data - Research - Washington University in St. Louis)
Maybe next year. ;)</p>
<p>Posted this in the USNews 2011 thread</p>
<p>As many suspected, here come the “slight” discrepancies:</p>
<p>From the Duke University Admissions: Class of 2013 Profile (on website)</p>
<p>Class of 2013:
Applications 23,877
Accepted 4,222
% Accepted 18%
Enrolled 1,739</p>
<p>Common Data Set
Applications 10995 + 11285 = 22,280
Admitted 2120 + 2099 = 4,219
Enrolled 882 + 841 = 1,723</p>
<p>Well, 2 out of 3 is not that bad; they got admissons and enrollment to almost match. Were the “missing” 1,600 applications the same postcards WashU counts so gleefully, or phone calls?</p>
<p>PS The only reasonable/acceptable explanation (and that does not question the school’s integrity) for the difference might be that Duke forgot to add the 1.537 ED applications in the total. Fwiw, the number of ED applications and admissions match exactly on the two reports. However, if a school such as Duke can make such a mistake, one ought to worry about that entire IR department. They might consider hiring the people who revamped the CDS of Chicago!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It opened fine for me. You may have to install that missing font, or check a different computer.</p>
<p>Penn’s numbers were very close to the numbers on its website.</p>
<p>Xiggi, re Duke, FINALLLYYYY!!!</p>
<p>I never trusted the 1460 25/75 ave. posted on several websites for Duke. On Duke’s own website, they never reported the data as 25 or 75.</p>
<p>Finally, the CDS is published, and sure enough, where there was smoke, there was fire.</p>
<ol>
<li> A far cry from 1460.</li>
</ol>
<p>Hosers. Deliberately not reporting says much more about a school than simply posting the same 25/75 ave. as Stanford.</p>
<p>Knowing that there are many ways to “tilt” data in one’s favor…is this senerio possible in regard to CDS SAT reporting. Student reports both SAT & ACT score to college. ACT score is significantly higher. Admit is based on ACT score. Can the college only use the students ACT score in calculating CDS since they could rationalize this is the score they were admitted on? Reason I ask is that Cornell is reporting that only 12% of their incoming freshman class had Math SAT I scores of less than 650… all 5 of the former students from my school currrently at Cornell had SAT M below 650 and another student was admitted with a score below 650 but declined to accept. 5 of these 6 students had ACT scores closer to Cornell’s average. Just doesn’t seem right to me that with legacies, recruited athletes, minorities, etc. that only 12% of admits were below this mark???</p>
