<p>True some leave a blank here and there, but I also like the Common Data Sets because it is a more accurate accounting of what actually occured with the admitted class. So many kids lob so many applications to schools that they may be far down their desired list. With the common data set and other available data from college board you can somewhat extrapolate who actually gets accepted and attends which is really the core constituency at a number one or number two choice school that I am concerned with more than who applies. You see this alot at our state flagship…lots and lots of out of region kids using it as a safety that won’t attend because it is their perceived safety and the cost is too high. If you look at the admitted and attending in the common data set you get a much clearer picture of the class make-up.</p>
