That statistics is referred to as Yield. The Common Data Set has numbers for applicants, acceptances, and enrollments in question C1, which is available for a vast, vast majority of US colleges.

You can calculate the yield by dividing the “Total full-time, first-time, first-year (freshman) * who enrolled” total by the “Total first-time, first-year (freshman) * who were admitted” total.

IU-Bloomington in 2018 had a 23.7% yield (after a 76.9% acceptance rate). (That’s the latest available - they’re at least a year behind most schools)
