NEW FIRST-TIME STUDENT ENTRY STATS
The data in this section are limited to enrolled students entering the university as new first-time students. The new first-time student enrollment cohort in
Admissions reports will not match the new first-time student enrollment cohort in Enrollment reports. This is because some admitted students applied in a
previous semester, but elected to defer enrollment to a future semester.

Test Score Cohorts
Each student is reported once. If a student submitted both SAT and ACT scores, the
scores are compared and the highest score is used. This is the score used in the
admissions decision.
In recognition of the impacts of COVID-19, SAT and ACT scores were optional starting in
Fall 2021. This results in fewer SAT and ACT scores than previous years.
