I wonder how this company scrapes its data. I find it hard to believe that this is collected individually and independently, and now that I've looked at more college profiles, I'm not sure how accurate or current it is either.

Here's my FAQ on the currency of Common Data Set data:

CURRENCY OF COMMON DATA SET INFORMATION

Each school year the colleges officially count their new freshman class AFTER the school year begins. (One college admission officer told me near the beginning of the 2008-2009 school year that his college counts on the tenth day of class in the new school year, which I think is industry-standard practice. Whatever the date, usually each college does this on the same date each year.) Sometime around the turn of the calendar year (that is, in January during the school year) a college's figures for that freshman class begin to be posted on the College Board website, and possibly on the college's own website in the form of a Common Data Set filing. So what you see early in the school year on the College Board descriptions of colleges is mostly information about the entering freshman class that entered in fall of the PREVIOUS school year (for example, information about new enrolled college students from high school class of 2008 is available to applicants in fall of 2009). That is the MOST RECENT information you have to go on as you apply for colleges yourself in fall of 2009, as a member of high school class of 2009. It is always like this--there is always a built-in lag between the year you can look up and the year you are living in as a student. Sometimes colleges post press releases right after they admit a new class in the spring, but those press releases are not comparable from college to college in the way that Common Data Set information is.
