<p>Do they use stats from class of '08 or '09? It seems much more logical to use '09, and it makes sense based on the time and stuff. Or maybe they use a combination of the two - retention rate of '08 but acceptance rate of '09? Whats the answer?</p>
<p>I think they use the class of 2008.</p>
<p>Everything last year was from the Fall 2003 entering class. This year, the data will be from the Fall 2004 entering class.</p>
<p>They begin data collection in March, so the data from the most recent class isn't known at the time.</p>
