The Profile of New Academic Freshmen is based on the freshmen cohort model for enrolled students. The cohort
captures first time, degree-seeking undergraduate students. Non-degree seeking, concurrent high school, bridge and
second degree seeking students are excluded from the cohort. Application and admission numbers are based on admit
type, not cohort. Application numbers include those from applicants who did not complete the application process and
were not given an admission decision.
