What the data says about University of Maine

Comparative observations derived from this school's reported CDS values and from IPEDS / College Scorecard reference data. Every claim is grounded in a number — no editorial overlay.

01

Cross-admit cohort spans an unusually wide selectivity range.

The schools University of Maine applicants most commonly also apply to range from 5.6% admit to 89.1% admit — a 83.5 pp band. A reasonable read: applicants choose by region or program fit rather than selectivity tier alone.

02

Broadly accessible — admit rate near the national norm.

University of Maine's 96.6% admit rate is in line with the national 4-year-institution median of 76.6% (per IPEDS, n=1437 institutions). Most U.S. four-year colleges admit between 61.2% and 88.3% of applicants.

Methodology

The Common Data Set is a standardized reporting form U.S. colleges file annually — sections A through J covering admissions selectivity, enrollment, aid, faculty resources, and outcomes. CollegeNumbers extracts every value directly from each school's officially published CDS PDF, xlsx, docx, or HTML, then normalizes into a unified schema.

Federal data layers — College Scorecard, EADA athletics, Clery campus safety, FSA financial responsibility — are joined on top. Every value traces back to its primary source. All covered schools →
