How to read these numbers

The 2024 rate covers DePaul University's whole applicant pool — early and regular applications counted together in one figure. It is not the rate of any single round.
1140–1330 is the middle half of admitted scores, not a cutoff: a quarter of admitted students scored below 1140, and a quarter scored above 1330.
The table above holds 12 reported years, 2013 through 2024. Across them DePaul University's rate ranged from 59.9% to 75.9%, 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.
