<p>The data posted above is taken directly from the most recent edition of USNWR (2008 issue published in 8/07) and the data drawn is from the Common Data Sets for each school for the entering class of Fall, 2006. Some colleges have begun publishing their most recent version of the CDS for the classes entering Fall, 2007, but colleges doing so are still few and far between. If one can provide more recent data that is going to provide an apples for apples comparison (same time period), then please do so.</p>
<p>General caveat: Be careful when using data posted directly on a college’s website. Sometimes colleges will post the student statistical data for a college’s ACCEPTED students rather than its ENROLLED students. Virtually all colleges are able to claim higher average scores for their admitted students. For comparisons of various colleges, enrolled data is the more accurate reflection of student quality.</p>
