<p>Mom Cares asks: Does anyone know when/if the College Board website updates a school’s stats? If you try to compare schools, NU still says it has a 24% acceptance rate. </p>
<p>Interesting, since I don’t know where the 24% number comes from. I just pulled the last 4 common data sets and get the following acceptance rates (unless my math is wrong, which is possible): 09-10 27%; 08-09 26%; 07-08 27%; 06-07 30%.</p>
<p>I suppose the answer is that NU reports data in some form to College Boards, and they either update when the new data comes in, or once a year, so people can do an apples to apples comparison.</p>
