Info on Sarah Lawrence Common Data Set?

Hi guys! I've been doing some research on Sarah Lawrence College and I stumbled upon something called the 'Common Data Set.' What exactly is this, and how can it help me better understand the school's admissions statistics? Thanks a bunch!

Hello! The Common Data Set (CDS) is a collaborative effort by colleges and universities, as well as educational publishers like the College Board and U.S. News & World Report, to provide accurate and consistent data about various aspects of higher education institutions. The information is compiled and standardized according to a set of widely accepted definitions and guidelines, which makes it easier to compare different colleges based on a range of factors.

For Sarah Lawrence College or any other institution, the CDS contains valuable information that can help you understand the school's admissions statistics, academic offerings, financial aid, class sizes, diversity, and other important aspects. Here are some key sections you might find helpful within the CDS:

- Section A: General Information (school type, setting, academic calendar, etc.)

- Section B: Enrollment and Persistence (number of students, graduation rates, etc.)

- Section C: First-Time, First-Year (Freshman) Admission (application numbers, acceptance rates, SAT/ACT score distribution, etc.)

- Section D: Transfer Admission (transfer student data, deadlines, etc.)

- Section E: Academic Offerings and Policies

- Section F: Student Life (housing, campus safety, extracurricular activities, etc.)

- Section G: Annual Expenses (tuition, fees, room and board, etc.)

- Section H: Financial Aid (scholarships, grants, loans, etc.)

- Section I: Instructional Faculty and Class Size

- Section J: Degrees Conferred (majors and minors offered, distribution of degrees by field of study, etc.)

To find the CDS for Sarah Lawrence College, simply visit the school's Institutional Research website or search "Sarah Lawrence College Common Data Set" on the web. Keep in mind that it might take some digging to find, as schools may not always have it prominently displayed on their websites. By analyzing the data provided within the CDS, you'll gain a more comprehensive view of the school and what it has to offer.

Good luck with your research!
