Official admissions websiteWhen compatible totals are available, the recent admission rate is applicants admitted divided by first-year applicants. It is not shown when applicants are zero or the reported counts are incompatible, and it never represents an individual student's probability of admission.
Score ranges describe recently enrolled first-year students who submitted that test. The 25th–75th percentiles contain the middle 50% of those reported scores. IPEDS reports SAT sections separately, so DegreePilot does not add them into a composite.
The official ADM2024 codes distinguish factors required to be considered, factors not required but considered when submitted, and factors not considered. English-proficiency applicability can vary by applicant; confirm who must submit it with the college.
Source: U.S. Department of Education, NCES IPEDS ADM2024. The open-admission flag comes only from the official IC2024 companion field. Missing, unavailable, imputed, and suppressed values retain their source status and are never converted to zero. Figures do not reflect program-specific rules or guarantee admission.
Requirements can change. The institution's admissions office is the final source before you apply.
Required means the official source identifies the coursework as necessary. Recommended is used only when the official source explicitly recommends or prefers it. Years and units retain the source's wording.
