Key Insights from Common Data Set

With so much conflicting information about college admissions, how do you know what data and information you can trust? Even with the best of intentions, data is defined, reported, and shared inconsistently, obscuring valid implications and conclusions about what it means for your admissions process. Enter Common Data Set - an initiative whose mission is to create a common set of data definitions and reporting, so that making comparisons across colleges and over time leads to more valid conclusions.
