Your numbers were all over the place with only a few being correct. I put both the admitted % and enrolled% because those two numbers go hand and hand. If you have a high acceptance and low enrollment from that % it clearly means that all those students chose another option(school, work, military). The way you wrote it made it sound as if we're taking everyone and people are coming because they have no choice. The fact is we are a top choice and the numbers speak for themselves.
BTW where did you pull TT having only 34% of the 64% accepted. I can't find that number anywhere from TT admissions. It shows only 39% of those admitted actually ended up going to TT.
once again are you "challenged" by chance?
1. what I posted was the % of students that were accepted that enrolled.......what exactly does that mean......well it means the percentage of students that decided to enroll in the university after they were accepted......how is it possible for you to not understand that
2. you claim my numbers were all over the place
lets go over those numbers
I had UT 49%........you had UT 49%
I had Texas A&M 44%.......you had Texas A&M 44%
I had Texas Tech 39% and you had the "real number" 34% even though there is not 34% listed for anything Texas Tech related on their link
I had north Texas state 43%......you had north Texas state 43%
I had UH 37%......you had UH 37%
I had UTSA 43%.......you had UTSA 48% (even though it very clearly says 43% on the link below)
http://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/?s=T...027#admsns
I had Texas State 62% you had Texas state 62%
so the only difference between what I posted and what you posted is that I understand the meaning of % of student that were accepted that enrolled, I got the 39% correct for Texas Tech and the 43% correct for UTSA while you had both of those numbers wrong and you included the acceptance % in your jumbled up mess of incorrectness
so again what we were discussing was that Texas State is becoming a very popular choice for students to attend.....I agreed with that sentiment, but I disagreed with the notion that Texas State was the university with the 4th most applications in Texas for 2013 and to support that (since there is no available data to support the 4th most applications claim) I provided information that showed Texas State would had to have about doubled their number of applications in a single year to become the university with the 4th most applications in Texas which I find improbable
BUT (here is where the tricky part seems to come in for you) I went and provided the % of students accepted that enrolled (you know the % of students that were admitted and then actually enrolled VS choosing another university) and I provided the actual correct % of students at the listed universities that were admitted that actually enrolled to show that Texas State was a university that a large % of students that were admitted actually decided to enroll at as well and I used this as a basis of conclusion that Texas State is seen as a place to not just apply, but to actually decide to enroll as well which could be one indication of popularity especially since those students that meet the admissions criteria for Texas State would have about 30 other Texas public universities to choose from
then you came along and did not seem to understand what % of admitted that enrolled meant and provided a jumbled mess of numbers including some that are incorrect for Texas Tech and UTSA along with the meaningless acceptance % figure as well in your mess of numbers
so again you were the one that had Texas Tech 34% and you (upon further investigation) had UTSA at 48% instead of 43% for students that decided to enroll after admission (or said another way
% admitted that enrolled)
also I have taken the liberty of editing my prior response to you to highlight the inaccuracies in your response....strangely you had the number correct at first (as I did probably because you cut and pasted from my post), but you were so set on including the meaningless acceptance % and then re-including the same exact numbers again (with two inaccuracies) that you managed to get the numbers wrong next to ENROLLED all while ignoring the numbers I correctly posted matched with the numbers you were posting (less the two inaccuracies on your part of course)
you see the inclusion of the word THAT indicated there was a second action which is the addition of actually enrolling not just being admitted
so when it reads % of students accepted that enrolled it means students that were both admitted and then went ahead and enrolled
perhaps if I had written it % of students admitted
, .......that enrolled
one could try and read it as meaning I was posting the % of students accepted followed by the % of students that also enrolled after acceptance.......but there was no
, in my post and there was just a single set of numbers and thus anyone should have read it all as one thing with one number to indicate that.......especially those that bothered to click on the link and look at the numbers themselves and seeing they all matched up to the % of students accepted that enrolled
