Where this data comes from
NCES IPEDS Admissions survey (applicants, admits, enrolled first-time students) for fall 2018–2024; the admit rate is admits ÷ applicants for each year. Fall 2024 is not yet published by IPEDS, so the latest year shown is 2024; the Scorecard's admit rate in the tiles above (37%) is for the fall 2024 entering class. The callout compares 2021 — the last year before test-optional application volumes settled — with 2024. The chart shows 2018–2024; ten years are stored.

How to read these numbers
Applied and Admitted are the school's own counts for that plan (section C21 of its Common Data Set). Regular Decision, where shown, is derived — everyone not counted in an early plan — so it also includes Early Action applicants at schools that don't publish an EA count. Waitlist figures come from section C2: students offered a place, those who accepted it, and those eventually admitted. Numbers marked verified were checked against the published document by hand.
