How to read these numbers

The 2022 rate covers Birmingham-Southern College's whole applicant pool — early and regular applications counted together in one figure. It is not the rate of any single round.
1150–1340 is the middle half of admitted scores, not a cutoff: a quarter of admitted students scored below 1150, and a quarter scored above 1340.
The table above holds 10 reported years, 2013 through 2022. Across them Birmingham-Southern College's rate ranged from 48.4% to 65.9%, so any single year is one point inside that range.

Each figure above describes a class a school already admitted in a completed cycle. It is a record of who was admitted, not a measurement of any one application.
