The most common admissions data published on college admissions office webpages is data on the median or middle 50% GPAs and SAT/ACT scores of admitted students. This is not the same as the stats on enrolled freshmen, the figures reported in the Common Data Set and US News. At most schools, the stats of admitted students are higher than the stats of enrolled freshmen, because they generally lose a fraction of the best-credentialed cross-admits to their peers or to more highly regarded schools higher up the food chain.
