[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re other colleges - this is produced by SCHEV for all VA state schools. I don't know if any other states produce it.[/quote]

The charts above are actually from VT's site, they provide much more detail than I've found at other schools, including other VA state schools.  It's so nice to be able to look at all the admission stats down to the major level.  SCHEV is helpful but I haven't seen the reporting as deep there as on VT's site.  If it is, I'd love to find it to look at other schools.[/quote]

Actually, VT's data is lacking a lot of information that other schools provide. UVA, JMU, GMU, and VCU's tables include admissions rates by things like residency, gender, and ethnicity.

UVA: https://ira.virginia.edu/university-stats-facts/undergraduate-admissions
JMU: https://public.tableau.com/profile/jmu.office.of.institutional.research#!/vizhome/JamesMadisonUniversity-Admissions/AppliedAcceptedEnrolled
VCU: https://irds.vcu.edu/eaar/interactive-reports/new-students/first-time-freshman-admissions-trends/
GMU: https://irr2.gmu.edu/Factbooks/1314/Factbook1314_Admission.pdf

Thanks, those are helpful.  Still, none of them report data at the level of applications/applicant profile at the level of specific major like VT does.  But it's nice to at least see it at the college level.[/quote]

I think only VT has the applying into major --not just designating major-- as a freshman option (with different profiles and outcomes for engineering apps).  VCU has break out information for its specialized direct pre-med entry and W&M for their St. Andrews application.[/quote]
