What is not reported
The College Scorecard has no figure for an admission rate, the share of students who return for a second year or a graduation rate at Loma Linda University. That is common for colleges that are small or new, that teach mostly graduate students, or that take few first-time, full-time students, because several measures count only that group. It says nothing by itself about quality. Ask the college directly for the figures that matter to you.
