I'm considering applying to the University of Wisconsin-Madison and wanted to see their common data set. Does anyone know where I can find this data?
The Common Data Set (CDS) for the University of Wisconsin-Madison can be found on their website, specifically in the section named 'Office of Academic Planning and Institutional Research'.
Once there, you should look for the section titled "Common Data Set", and you'll find the information for the most recent academic years. You can select the year that you are interested in and it will open up a PDF for you.
The CDS contains a wide range of information including admissions data, enrollment numbers, financial aid statistics, and other details about the academic programs and student life at the university. Keep in mind that these details can change year by year, so use the most current data set for optimal accuracy.
Remember, the CDS is a useful tool for getting a broad statistical overview of the university, but it does not tell the whole story. Be sure you're also considering other factors in your college search, such as fit with the university's culture, specific programs or majors of interest, and personal conversations or experiences with the school.
