Admissions Practice Snapshot: Results of the AACRAO November 2018 60-Second Survey

With the continued support of membership, this is the fourth year that American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) has conducted 60-Second Surveys. The purpose of these snapshot surveys is to gather a broad-brush stroke perspective on practice. With that in mind, it is understood that the way the questions are written will likely not be inclusive of all variations in practice. However, the results of these surveys provide insight into comparative practice on a high level. This report discusses key findings regarding undergraduate practices, graduate practices, and criminal justice information -- United States institutions only. The remainder of the report contains figures summarizing the aggregate results. Some of the results have been disaggregated by institutional, size, type, or control. The survey received responses from 500 members who answered one or more of the questions in the survey. The survey logic enabled respondents to select that they were reporting on practices for undergraduate, graduate, or for both populations. This branching logic resulted in 433 undergraduate and 207 graduate responses. This year's survey also breaks out questions about the use of technology from inquiries about practice and includes a question for institutions in the United States about the request for criminal justice information on the application for admission.
