<p>College board and the university websites seem to have data from the 2004-2005 school year. That would be 2 years behind, 3 years behind for our current junior class. Why aren't they more current? How can you judge a school by using old stats? Is there some way to get the most current data for the class of 2006?</p>
<p>The most recent completed school year is 2004-2005, so the data you see for that year is the most current. The 2005-2006 school year is not yet over for many colleges, so they haven't even had time to compile and verify all the statistics, let alone publish them. (Some of the statistics in the Common Data Set include graduation figures that would not be accurate until, well, graduation! ;) ) I've found several 2005-2006 Common Data Sets published this month (e.g. Evergreen's</a>) and I suspect over the next month or so you'll see more schools publishing the stats on the school year just now coming to a close.</p>
<p>Wouldn't their acceptance stats be good as of last fall, though?</p>
<p>They don't update the Common Data Sets as the year goes along, they fill out the entire form at once and submit it complete. If you're just talking about "statistics on the Class of 2009" (that is, last fall's incoming freshmen), most schools do have this somewhere on their websites already.</p>
