Description
A tibble containing information for 2,110 high school students admitted to
Williams College for class years ranging from 2011 through 2020. Note that
the raw source for this data was submitted anonymously to EphBlog. We can not
guarantee its accuracy. The data has been modified to make it impossible to
identify specific applicants, something that was possible in the raw data.
Usage

Format
A tibble with 2,110 rows and 7 variables:
- class
year of graduating class to which the applicant was
accepted. For example, 2019 means a student who applied, in the fall
of 2014 for enrollment in the fall of 2015 and with a projected
graduation in the spring of 2019.
- enrolled
logical value indicating whether or not the student
enrolled at Williams
- nationality
either "foreign" or "USA." Orginally data included
specific countries.
- race
one of "Asian", "Black", "Hispanic", "Native American"
or "White." Values of "Non-US" and "Unidentified" in the original
data were set to NA.
- sex
either "male" or "female." We believe that this is the birth
sex, as provided in the Common Ap.
- ACT
composite ACT score
- SAT
sum of the score on the math and reading portions of the SAT
Details
The data is, obviously, not a complete set of all the applicants admitted to
Williams over this time period. For example, it includes no information from
the classes of 2012 and 2018. The largest number of applicants in any year is
391 for the class of 2017, but that is only a small portion of the more than
1,200 applicants that Williams accepts in most years.
However, the data seems reasonable. For example, the mean SAT score for
Black/White enrolled students is 1274/1480. Race and Class Matters at an
Elite College by Elizabeth Aries reports (p. 22) a similar gap 1284/1488 for
an older sample at Amherst College, a school with a very similar profile to
Williams.
