<p>Does anyone know where to find this?</p>

<p>It would be great to have a breakdown of admissions at HYPSMC based on race, GPA, SAT scores, etc.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance</p>

<p>I'm going to keep looking, but here's something similar for Princeton:</p>

<p><a href="http://www.princeton.edu/pr/facts/profile/05/07table.shtml%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.princeton.edu/pr/facts/profile/05/07table.shtml&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>and I know that Brown has that exact type of breakdown that you want.</p>

<p>though I just realized that it doesn't have it by race/ethnicity</p>

<p>There is something called the "Common Data Set". I believe that it is the single most useful aid for students to size up their "chances" for admission into chosen colleges/universities. The Common Data Set (CDS) for a given school will give you the breakdown of data that might be of interest to you. Here is the link to background information on the Common Data Set: <a href="http://www.commondataset.org/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.commondataset.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Notably Harvard is not a collaborative party to the CDS, however many other colleges/universities do participate in this effort. The quickest way to access a CDS for a given college is to simply go to Google and type in: [ (college name) "Common Data Set" ]. Take a look at the listings and click. Try it... Stanford, Princeton, Yale ... the first result you see will be the CDS.</p>

<p>On College Confidential, here is also a list of CDS's (may not be updated): <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=76444&highlight=links+common+data+set%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=76444&highlight=links+common+data+set&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>One other thing, there's an organization called the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC), which is concerned about -- you guessed it -- college admission counseling. Here's a portion of a report that was published recently titled "State of College Admission 2006". This portion is titled "Factors in the Admission Process" (in PDF format). Makes for good reading...</p>
