What the data says about Morehouse 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

Admit rate has tightened 24.8 percentage points over 4 reporting cycles.

Morehouse College's admit rate fell from 77.1% (2020-2021) to 52.3% (2023-2024) — a 24.8 pp drop. Year-over-year: 77.1 → 65.2 → 60.0 → 52.3. A snapshot of the current year alone would hide this structural shift.

02

Cross-admit cohort spans an unusually wide selectivity range.

The schools Morehouse College applicants most commonly also apply to range from 18.7% admit to 67.5% admit — a 48.8 pp band. A reasonable read: applicants choose by region or program fit rather than selectivity tier alone.

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 →
