Enrolled students only: the federal data has no applicants or admits by residency. Colleges report this in even-numbered years, and some in odd years too, so the newest year shown may be older than the figures above. Abroad means living outside the U.S. when admitted, not citizenship; students whose residence was not reported are left out. Source: U.S. Department of Education (IPEDS).
