Where this comes from. Acceptance rate and the middle-50% SAT/ACT bands are from
the U.S. Department of Education's IPEDS admissions survey (the same data colleges report to the government).
Test scores are only one input — admission also weighs essays, grades, recommendations, activities and
institutional priorities, which no single number can capture. These figures describe the group of students who
enrolled, not any one applicant's chances.
