Abstract	The purpose of the July 2015 60 Second Survey was to gain a snapshot understanding of a handful of admission practices that were suggested as topics of interest by the membership. Data cleaning resulted in 808 usable responses representing a variety of institutional types, sizes, controls and locations, with the majority representing U.S. and Canadian institutions (98%, n=798). More than three quarters of participants represent undergraduate practices (78%), 16% graduate and/or professional, and 5% selected "other." Most who selected "other" represent both undergraduate and graduate practices for purposes of this survey. Less than half (42%, n=807) use a common application of some sort (e.g., the Common Application, Apply Texas, Ontario Universities' Application Centre, etc.). Private, proprietary institutions are less likely than other types to use a common application. Admission practice use varies widely both in the aggregate and when disaggregated by undergraduate and graduate/professional practices. Overall, the least common practice is to apply different admission criteria for wholly online programs; only 12% indicated this was a practice in use at their institution. Most (79%) allow students to defer their enrollment period, and about half (55%) use "holistic" admission. As anticipated, undergraduate practice is more likely that graduate and/or professional practice to allow students to enroll in their first term with an undeclared/undecided major (82% vs. 21%).
