Admissions data is constantly evolving, and it's challenging for any one individual to stay updated. K-12 Program Database information, in particular, can be difficult to obtain. As a result, the data provided by Peterson's may also have limitations.
Establishing a centralized location to store and share your valuable insights about colleges, graduate programs, k12 information is crucial for enhancing process efficiency and fostering organizational knowledge.

âť“ Why Is a Data Cell Blank? Why Does the Data Cell read "unreported" âť“
A few common reasons:
-
The school does not publicly report that information.
-
Our licensed resource (Peterson’s) did not include that information.
-
Your internet may be loading large lists more slowly—try refreshing your screen.
If you’re concerned a field is missing, you’re encouraged to research and contribute updates using Data Correction Mode.

Hover over the cell and click the small question mark (?) inside it. A tooltip will show you the last modified date.
Ask yourself:

Is this data recent enough for the conversation I am currently having?
