Last post (I swear):
EOP and international students are included in a school’s freshman profile. Here’s the exact language from section C of the Common Data Set:
"Freshman Profile: Provide percentages for ALL enrolled, degree-seeking, full-time and part-time, first-time, first-year (freshman) students enrolled in Fall 2014, including students who began studies during summer, international students/nonresident aliens, and students admitted under special arrangements."
Notice that students who take advantage of a school’s offer of deferred admission in the spring are excluded, as are transfer students, who are profiled in section D of a school’s Common Data Set. Binghamton Advantage students who do ultimately enroll in Binghamton are transfer students. Again, Binghamton is not unique in this regard.
Opinions have validity when they can be presented as logical arguments supported by facts.
