Tufts University Fact Book

The Fact Book has lots of admissions statistics - starting on page 63
http://www.tufts.edu/ir/FACTBOOK%202005%20wv5.pdf

The Office of Institutional Research has other interesting links:
http://www.tufts.edu/ir/inresearch.html



In general, going to a College or University web site - searching on "Common Data Set", "Institutional Research" or "Fact Book" will bring up the information they have posted.

Thank you all SO MUCH for this info! I was wondering if someone could post a link to this data on the Parents Forum, too. I think it's mandatory reading! I sure learned a lot about my D's school!

filling out the top U list

Here are some more top university CDS sites or sites that disclose admissions info:

Cal Tech: http://atc.caltech.edu/finance/budget.htm

Columbia U: http://www.barnard.edu/opir/cds/cds_main.htm

University of North Carolina (CH): http://www.ais.unc.edu/ir/cds.html

Brandeis: http://www.brandeis.edu/offices/IR/cds/CDS.html

U Illinois UC (profile, not CDS): http://www.pb.uillinois.edu/dr/

UC Irvine: http://www.oir.uci.edu/cds/

RPI: http://www.rpi.edu/about/cds/index.html

UC Santa Barbara (abridged CDS): http://bap.ucsb.edu/IR/UG_Info_Guide.pdf

UC Davis (click on Campus Data): http://www.sariweb.ucdavis.edu

Syracuse (data, but not CDS): http://sumweb.syr.edu/ir/contents.htm; & http://sumweb.syr.edu/ir/prospective....html#Freshmen

University of Texas: http://www.utexas.edu/academic/oir/cds/04-05/

Pepperdine: http://www.pepperdine.edu/instres/dataset/

Texas A&M: http://pie.tamucc.edu/cds/cdsmain.htm

University of Georgia: http://www.uga.edu/irp/cds/index.html

Purdue: http://www.purdue.edu/idn/CDS_Post/cdsmain.html

Rutgers: http://oirap.rutgers.edu/instchar.html

University of Iowa: http://www.uiowa.edu/~provost/irm/


There is something decidedly suspicious about the name-brand institutions that obviously have a CDS and an institutional research function that collects & studies these data, but does not make it (especially admissions disclosures) public to the degree that there is no trace of it on their web pages (at least in my sleuthing). Those institutions happen to be:

Harvard
Washington University
USC

To a lesser extent, those that put the info behind password protection:
Notre Dame (password protected): http://www.nd.edu/~instres/home3/index.shtml
Or that puts out a short-form of data that is significantly less revealing than a CDS like Penn.

And, its conversely refreshing to see an open listing of a school’s peer institution CDS sites (thanks for you openness), e.g., :
JMU: http://oirsacs.jmu.edu/PerfMeasures/PeerWebSites.asp
Princeton: http://www.princeton.edu/~provost/research_peers.html

Another thank you to the OP for starting this thread, and to all of you who have added to it. It is a tremendously convenient resource as we go through a transfer process.
