UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONS
A comparison of undergraduate admissions for fall semester 2002-03 and fall semester 2003-04 reveals a 3.6 percent increase in first-
year (freshman) students for the whole university, although the percentage change varies widely by campus.  This comparison is based on the
number of admitted students as of September 6, 2002, and September 5, 2003, the conclusion of the first week of classes for all campuses. 
This figure accurately represents admissions activity for a fall semester.
At the time of the survey, the Bloomington and IUPUI campuses accounted for 79 percent of the first-year admissions and 64
percent of the transfer admissions.  These figures serve as the official admission statistics for the First Semester.
Figures from both years have been constructed using a new and more representative methodology, recognizing the increasing population
of high school students who begin taking college courses in high school.  Previously these students were coded as non-degree-seeking
students and when they arrived on campus after graduating from high school, they were coded as returning students, excluding them from the
cohort.
