What the data says about Austin College

Comparative observations derived from this school's reported CDS values and from IPEDS / College Scorecard reference data. Every claim is grounded in a number — no editorial overlay.

01

Cross-admit cohort spans an unusually wide selectivity range.

The schools Austin College applicants most commonly also apply to range from 25.9% admit to 73.4% admit — a 47.5 pp band. A reasonable read: applicants choose by region or program fit rather than selectivity tier alone.

02

3 of 6 cross-admit schools are in TX — Austin College draws applicants weighing it against in-state and adjacent-state alternatives, not coastal or selective national peers.

Methodology

The Common Data Set is a standardized reporting form U.S. colleges file annually — sections A through J covering admissions selectivity, enrollment, aid, faculty resources, and outcomes. CollegeNumbers extracts every value directly from each school's officially published CDS PDF, xlsx, docx, or HTML, then normalizes into a unified schema.

Federal data layers — College Scorecard, EADA athletics, Clery campus safety, FSA financial responsibility — are joined on top. Every value traces back to its primary source. All covered schools →
