<p>I've looked at College Board's Big Future and College Data, but I think they don't have the high school class of 2012 stats.</p>
<p>Is there some website that has that? (And I'm definitely not just looking at top colleges; I need admit rates from various Cal State schools and 2nd/3rd tier schools) Or will I need to go to each college's website and track that down?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Not all of the colleges have published the fall 2012 class data.</p>
<p>Because CSU admissions can depend heavily on one’s major, relying on overall school stats can be misleading. For example, at San Jose State, some majors admitted students with the CSU minimum eligibility index of 2900 in-state (a 2.5 GPA and 900 SAT CR+M will make that), but there was one major that needed an eligibility index of 4600 (a 4.0 GPA and 1400 SAT CR+M just barely makes that). Also, admissions rates can be misleading – for example, both UC Berkeley and CSU East Bay have approximately 22% admission rates.</p>
<p>For CSUs, read the impaction information at [url=<a href=“http://www.csumentor.edu%5DCSUMentor%5B/url”>http://www.csumentor.edu]CSUMentor[/url</a>] .</p>
<p>UCB,</p>
<p>I’ve looked at the site you linked but am having a bit of a time navigating it. Where exactly on the site does it talk about impaction information? The student that I’m working with is looking at photography or studio art as a major.</p>
<p>Oh, I think I see a place where you can find out if your major is closed or open. Is that what you’re talking about?</p>
<p>Thanks for your help.</p>
<p>PS. Is there something like this for the UC schools?</p>
<p>You can go to the school’s CDS, but again they may not have 2012/13 data, for instance, UCLA:</p>
<p>[UCLA</a> Office of Analysis and Information Management | AIM](<a href=“http://www.aim.ucla.edu/CDS/cds.asp]UCLA”>http://www.aim.ucla.edu/CDS/cds.asp)</p>
<p>If using this data to develop a college list, the difference in admission rates and 25:75 test scores is unlikely to change significantly in 1 year to make a difference in whether a school is a safety/match/reach.</p>
<p>^Note: Googling the name of the school and common data set will likely be quicker than going to individual college websites and navigating to the CDS.</p>
<p>I looked up UCB in the College Navigator but their data still shows class of 2010. Googling the college and CDS is probably best.</p>
<p>I calculate data for the College Data Set for the university where I work. We haven’t submitted data for last year yet. I looked to see when I did it last year (I submit to an area who then it to another area who then submits it to CDS) and it was toward the end of October.</p>
<p>CSU impaction information is described here: [Impaction</a> | Student Academic Support | CSU<a href=“which%20is%20linked%20from%20the%20section%20about%20campuses%20that%20have%20higher%20standards%20and%20majors%20that%20have%20higher%20standards”>/url</a>.</p>
<p>The handy impaction matrix: <a href=“http://calstate.edu/SAS/documents/impactedprogramsmatrix.pdf[/url]”>http://calstate.edu/SAS/documents/impactedprogramsmatrix.pdf](<a href=“http://calstate.edu/SAS/impactioninfo.shtml]Impaction”>http://calstate.edu/SAS/impactioninfo.shtml)</a> shows what majors are impacted at each CSU campus. The O means that the major is not impacted (though the campus may be impacted and may have higher standards than the CSU minimum). The I means that the major is impacted and has higher standards than the campus or CSU minimum. The N means to see the notes at the bottom.</p>
<p>More detailed information by campus can be found here: [CSU</a> Campus Impaction Information | Student Academic Support | CSU](<a href=“http://calstate.edu/SAS/impaction-campus-info.shtml]CSU”>http://calstate.edu/SAS/impaction-campus-info.shtml) .</p>
<p>For UCs, the information is not as well organized into one place, and it can take considerable digging to figure out if intended major matters in admissions. The general site is <a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu%5B/url%5D”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu</a> . But you can find campus-wide admission profiles for each campus.</p>
<p>I sometimes got most current stats by doing a search on the college or university newspaper website.</p>
<p>Thanks, all. I appreciate it! </p>
<p>And college_query, thanks for the heads up about when data might be inputted. </p>
<p>ucb, thanks for the links on impaction. This will be very helpful.</p>
<p>Question: If a student applies for an impacted major, what’s the likely scenario if they’re not a top student? Would they get into a college but have to choose a different major, or would they just not get accepted? Please explain how that works at the Cal State schools.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>stats are usually a few years old…</p>
<p>Re: #22</p>
<p>It may depend on each CSU campus’ policies. For example, a student may be admitted to an alternate or undeclared major, or may not be admitted at all (sometimes depending on whether the student is in the local area for the campus). Check each CSU campus’ web site for more information.</p>
