We’re looking to build a consortium of users for a curated database of college statistics and numbers that help families, students (and counselors) quickly compare and contrast salient details about colleges, including academic accessibility.

>> Click here to view last year’s College Statistics Database.

Here’s how available numbers can tell a story:

  • How many undergrads on campus?
  • How many are from out of state?
  • What is the class size like? Lots of lectures? No classes over 50?
  • How much diversity is present? International students?
  • Campus life: How many live on campus? Participate in Greek life?
  • What’s the 4 year graduation rate? How does that compare to the national average?
  • What’s the freshman retention rate (happiness factor)?
  • What’s the cost?
  • What’s the acceptance rate and average grades and scores for this school – is it a “Very Likely”, “Target” or “Reach”?

Letting numbers tell the story of how competitive a school is can help a counselor avoid being the bearer of difficult news!

If you’re interested in using these data strings for a large collection of popular colleges and universities, please contact me.

Contact Doing College to set up a complimentary 30-minute phone consultation with Elizabeth LaScala to discuss our services.

Doing College offers educational consulting services to students and their parents in Lafayette, Moraga, Orinda and greater California, as well as nationally and internationally.

“I use the database when I present a college list to students and families, knowing that the information is current and vetted. Families often want to know the number of undergrads on a campus, the acceptance rate, and other important metrics. Additionally, I use the database as an easy reference on my desktop.”
