FAQs

What metrics are included in the first-time undergraduate admission statistics table?

The table reports unduplicated applicants, admitted students, and enrolled students for each fall year, plus SAT and ACT participation counts and average scores.

How are SAT and ACT scores handled in the reported data?

SAT and ACT scores are based on single-score reporting, and when both are reported for a student, the higher score is used. ACT Composite uses the best individual section scores (super score).

Are any score calculations or admission counting methods updated for certain years?

Yes. Beginning Fall 2017, SAT is converted to the New SAT scale using College Board Concordance. Beginning Fall 2019, applicants are counted based on a revised admission policy methodology.
