    Intended Uses

    • Get a bird’s eye view of admission and matriculation results and three-year trends.
    • Help your admissions office understand your admissions “bump” relative to national admission rates

    Common Questions

    • Why does the class size not match up to my count? 
      • This is likely due to incomplete or duplicate records that were excluded during your file import.
    • What is a global admit rate?
      • The global admit rate is the overall admission rate reported by each of the institutions your students applied to, weighted by application.  By comparing this to the high school admit rate, you can get a sense for your high school’s admissions “bump” relative to overall results.
    • What admit rate do you use for categorizing selectivity?
      • The latest available overall admission rate for the institution is used to categorize selectivity.
    • What does “Not Categorized” mean?
      • Not categorized indicates that needed data was not available to categorize a school properly.  For example, under Admissions Mix by Selectivity, the “not categorized” section indicates the mix of schools where overall admission rate is not available/not tracked.
