Undergraduate Admission
Class Profile - Fall 2007
The following statistics give a general picture of the freshman and transfer applicants and admits for Fall 2007. We caution you against too narrow an interpretation of this data. We are providing it because we are often asked to evaluate an applicant’s chances of admission based on certain criteria. To make such a judgment without reading an entire application is impossible, but the following information may prove useful to you. Bear in mind both that an applicant in the top of one group may not be in the same position on another measure and that the rigor of academic programs varies considerably among schools. Statistics below are based on the most recent 2006 information for those students for whom we had such information.
