The University of Southern California prints out on their website a complete profile of their incoming freshmen class for fall 2008. It is in the undergraduate admissions section of the website. Included are numbers of applicants, numbers of freshmen, feeder high schools, racial composite and other statistical information.

Agreed-- cool site! What year is that data from? Is it based on the 2007 admissions data?

These should be based on information for the graduating class of 07. Updated CDSs should start becoming available in January.

This time of year (the turn of the calendar year) is when Common Data Set information is updated. A few colleges are done updating as of the second week of December, and many more will be done by January. So in January 2009, most information sites, such as College Board's College QuickFinder application, will have information current to the fall 2008 entering class.

UCLA has a different URL for CDS starting in 2007 -- UCLA Office of Analysis and Information Management | AIM
This is the 2008, but it, as did the 2007, continues to show 2006 in one of the Questions... that is a typo.
Like most schools, UCLA's admit rate keeps going down -- it was about 26% in 2006 entering, 24% for 2007 entering, and 23% for 2008 entering... putting it in a virtual tie with Berkeley for the hardest UC to get into.

After I posted a somewhat snarky comment about Colgate on another thread, ericatbucknell
let me know that Colgate now has posted its CDS for 06-07, 07-08, and 08-09 on its Institutional Research website. Good for them! Colgate: Institutional Planning and Research | |

| Hit the Mother Load!
I think I hit the mother load for common data sets!
I was able to find schools that I hadn't found anywhere, including Tulane, Lafayette, and University of Rochester. Try this and see if you can stump it.
INSTRUCTIONS:
(1) Go to www . collegedata . com and click on "COLLEGE MATCH >Search for colleges."
(2) Type the name of the college in the box (e.g. Yale), then click on the matching entry that pops up ("Yale University")
(3) Click on "Full Profile" in the upper right-hand corner, next to the Adobe Icon and it will bring up a PDF profile that I believe is from the college's common data set submission.
Here is the hyperlink CollegeData: College Search, Financial Aid, College Application, College Scholarship, Student Loan, FAFSA Info, Common Application
Is this as great as it seems to be???

^ I think you're correct that these college profiles follow the format of the Common Data Set. I was interested to see how many items are "not reported" in Harvard's profile, and that Harvard says it doesn't consider class rank at all.

great find Dad'o'2....I too checked out Harvard, the poster child of CDS hold-outs....definitely has CDS-like materials available that have heretofore been challenging to find, other than the delayed USNews electronic reporting.....but, as Tokenadult says, plenty of info missing still.
thank you!

A very useful site, thanks Dad'o'2, but not quite a one-to-one mapping from the CDS, at least for a couple of the schools I tried. It seems to summarize some things that are broken out in more detail by the CDS, to omit some information entirely (I did not see waitlist numbers, for example for schools that I know put them in the CDS), but they also include some information from other sources (there was information on athletic programs that I did not see in the CDS for example.) All in all, though, an excellent resource.

You did a great job of finding that data! I have seen that site (though in all honesty forgot that I'd saved it until I tried to save your link) but never found all that info. The data is from 2007 though. Wish it were more current (I looked at Tulane)
