| Does anyone know the general time frame for when the current Common Data Sets will begin to be posted? I am looking for 2007-2008, which would include the students admitted for the Fall of 2007 (current freshman). I thought we would be seeing them by now, but most schools I have checked do not yet have them posted. |

| Boston- I've seen a few come out already....but I haven't been watching closely this year. They are dribbling in now, and some schools take much longer than others to post. From what I recall from last year, most were in by Feb or so. I think Jan is a big posting month. | |

| Yes, the posting month is sometime AFTER the closing date for determining official enrollment in the new school year's freshman class, because many of the statistics relate to each year's enrolled freshman class. | |

| Sorry, could not find Tulane's CDS.
Found a listing of departments, including an office for institutional research (the normal home for CDS', factbooks, etc.) but the dept has no page of its own. Tulane is in fine company with other less-than-transparent institutions like Harvard & Wash U. I suspect they may not wish to have their numbers publicized with all of the Katrina turmoil, perhaps (speculating, I don't have hard data) causing a dip in apps & higher acceptance rates than historic, which may look "bad" in the face of general admissions trends in the opposite directions.
ps....tiff90, if you are feeling bold, I wouldn't hesitate in asking (no harm there) the IR folks listed on the following page if they can send you their CDS: http://www2.tulane.edu/external/instrsrch.htm | |

| Don't have a CDS for Tulane but at a visit to the Honors program last weekend they mentioned that the average SAT (CR R+ Math) this year was 1346. | |

| I really want to go to Tulane, got a 1320/2040 but applied RD(wish I did EA based on the scholarships/honors) and am waitlisted. I just wanted to see the chances of getting off the waitlist. I have been talking/leaving messages with people in admissions, because I know the matriculation rate is low (11%) | |

| from Tulane's admissions profile: Quote: |
Typical entering students have middle 50 percent SAT scores between 1830 and 2060 (ACT equivalent range 28-32).
| USNews (which is based on last year's CDS's) reports: Quote:
SAT scores (25/75 percentile):
Critical Reading:610 – 725
Math: 610 – 700
Combined: 1220 – 1425
| tiff90-- keep up your persistence...that should make a difference. Good luck. | |

It would be helpful to a lot of parents and students if each of us CC participants who has interest in a particular college would ask the college to post its Common Data Set filings on the World Wide Web, as so many colleges do these days. Let's change the culture by asking colleges to be more transparent. I sent such a letter to Georgetown University a couple years ago after trying to Google up Georgetown's Common Data Set info and finding that of Georgetown College (KY) instead. My alma mater posts its Common Data Set info, and I think every college should. I have also mentioned that idea in the email list for college officers who maintain Common Data Set filings. Transparency and openness is good. | |

| 100% agree tokenadult...I too have emailed the pres & IR folks at my son's school, Colgate, with the same request (to no avail...yet) to get with the 21st century and be more transparent.
tiff90-- one other snippet from the USNews data on Tulane...this tells me that you have hope & you should not let up in demonstrating your interest in attending: Quote:
Qualified applicants offered a place on waiting list: 1,313
Applicants accepting a place on waiting list: 944
Students enrolled from waiting list: 458
| So, almost 50% came off the wait list, which is a MUCH higher percentage than most other selective schools. Katrina effect might be at play here (2006 freshman class), meaning those coming off the wait list might be fewer now as Tulane's popularity re-grows, but I'd bet you still have a very strong shot. | |
