Running an Applicant Pool Report

The Applicant Pool Report is a report that includes basic data about applicants by term/career/program.  Data contained on the report is from the Student Administration database (aka PeopleSoft). The information may not reflect all information contained in each program's primary application database (i.e. NCAS, PTCAS, EMBARK, etc).
