ASHA EdFind stats

Hi everyone! New here... I'm trying to figure out where to find the ASHA Edfind stats people refer to. When I go to the ASHS site to browse Edfind, I only find searches for Programs by various criteria. No statistics on acceptance rates, etc. I would be *so appreciative* if someone could share a url or other tips on how to get that info. Also, I haven't been able to find that kind of information on "program websites" either (only looking at Cal State schools, so far). Where are y'all finding that stuff??

Many thanks in advance for any help...
 

I'm so glad you (seemingly) used the search to find this thread!

The statistics are only available on specific program pages; you can't search by stats. So for example if I go to the EdFind page for CSU LA

http://www.asha.org/edfind/details.aspx?id=D/s2RSL7dc0vdbXmehghfQ==
 

I can see the following statistics about their admitted class from last year:

• GRE:
  • Verbal reasoning: 147-168
  • Quantitative reasoning: 145-162
  • Analytical writing: 3.0-5.0
• GPA:
  • 3.77-4.00
• Number of Applications Received:
  • Full-time Students: 259
  • Part-time Students: 0
  • Total: 259
• Number of Admission Offers:
  • Full time: 21
  • Part time: 0
  • Total: 21

Not all schools opt to post these stats (so you may see N/A), and exactly what stats are posted is different from school to school, since they're self-reported by the schools. Some schools may only post the GRE and GPA of those who accepted admission, some post stats for all those offered admission, and I suspect some (like my school) only post the stats for those initially offered admission. It seems self explanatory, but take the stats with a grain of salt because it is up to the schools to post them! People also calculate "Acceptance rate" by dividing the number of applications received by admissions offers from EdFind. Again, it's not a hard acceptance rate, just a guideline!

Some programs do post stats on the university department websites, but not all do.

Hope that helps!

I did find the thread using search and this is very helpful -- thank you! I'd kind of figured out to search by school, but it's good to know I'm not missing anything (especially after I found, as you said, schools' available stats vary a lot). Thanks again!

Edit: Do you happen to know how to search a school's online/"distance" program? The search terms I've used bring 0 results...  (e.g., CSUN online, fully spelling out the university's name + "online" or "distance"). Not to worry if you don't -- you've already helped and I appreciate it!

Unfortunately, I don't think most EdFind pages have a separate page/secction for the online/distance options. :\ I checked another page's program that has an established distance option (UW Eau Claire) and it seems that the stats are either lumped in with the other ones or not included at all; the distance option is mentioned on the page, but no mention of separate stats. Kind of a bummer! It could be a good point to email ASHA'S EdFind people about though. Schools do typically examine those applicant pools independently of one another, so it'd make sense to have separate stats listed for each.

Seems to be the case. My guess would be that fewer people apply to the all-distance programs, but who knows? In any case, it's good (approximate) information for considering on-campus programs!
