Where the data comes from

Every data point in AdmitPlatform traces back to one of these sources.

Peterson's Data

Comprehensive undergraduate college profiles covering admissions statistics, GPA distributions, entrance difficulty ratings, testing policies, tuition and financial aid breakdowns, athletics, campus setting, and more. Peterson's is one of the most established names in college data, with profiles covering thousands of institutions.

IPEDS

Federal data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System, managed by the National Center for Education Statistics. Every Title IV institution reports enrollment totals, institutional characteristics, degree completions, and financial data annually—making IPEDS the foundational dataset for U.S. higher education.

US News Rankings

National university and liberal arts college rankings and category classifications from U.S. News & World Report, sourced via Andrew G. Reiter's historical rankings dataset. Rankings are widely referenced by families and consultants alike, making them an essential data point in the college research process.

Georgetown ROI Data
