Admissions (ADM)

New IPEDS Admissions Survey Component, 2014-15

These items were moved from the Institutional Characteristics component.

1. Please select the option that best describes how your institution uses any of the following data in its undergraduate selection process.

Admissions Considerations	Required	Recommended	Neither Required nor Recommended	Don’t Know
Secondary school GPA
Secondary school rank
Secondary school record
Completion of college-preparatory program
Recommendations
Formal demonstration of competencies (e.g., portfolios, certificates of mastery, assessment instruments)
Admission test scores
SAT / ACT
Other test (ABT, Wonderlic, WISC-III, etc.) Note: if this is the only requirement other than a diploma or equivalent, and few students are not admitted due to this test, please call the IPEDS Help Desk so that your response to the screening question for this component can be corrected.
TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language)

2. Provide the number of first-time, degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students who applied, who were admitted, and who enrolled (either full- or part-time) at your institution for Fall 2014. Include early decision, early action, and students who began studies during the summer prior to Fall 2014.

Remember that this question is only applicable to first-time students; do not include other students in these totals.

Only include levels that you indicated were offered in the IC Header. If you made an error in the IC Header, please call the IPEDS Help Desk and correct your error.

3. If test scores are required for admission for first-time, degree/certificate-seeking undergraduate students, provide the number and percentage of enrolled students submitting SAT and/or ACT scores, as well as the 25^th and 75^th percentile scores for each test. Provide writing test scores only if used for admission. Provide data for Fall 2014. Include new students admitted the summer prior to Fall 2014.

Do NOT convert test scores (e.g., do not convert an SAT score to an ACT scale, etc.). If you have numbers for both SAT and ACT scores, provide the percentiles for both tests.
