Commitment
AdmitBase corrects substantive errors promptly and transparently. A page with a factual error is a page that misleads applicants making real decisions — so we treat corrections as a priority workflow, not a chore.
What we correct
- Factual errors in statistics, dates, names, or institutional details.
- Misattributed sources or stale citations that no longer reflect the cited document.
- Calculation errors in match scores, ROI projections, or any data presented as derived from a primary source.
- Material outdatedness — claims that were accurate at publication but have been superseded by a new disclosure cycle.
Stylistic edits, clarifications that do not change meaning, and routine updates to time-sensitive data are made without a formal correction notice but are reflected in the article's last-updated date.
Reporting an error
- Email support@admitbase.com with the URL, the specific passage or data point in question, and — where possible — a link to the source that supports the correction.
- We acknowledge every report within one business day, even if review is still in progress.
- Verified corrections are applied within 72 hours for high-impact items (statistics on widely-read pages) and within seven days for lower-impact ones.
How corrections are labelled
- Substantive corrections add a dated note at the bottom of the article describing what changed and why.
- Article-level updates refresh the "Updated" date in the byline so readers can see the content has been revised.
- Retractions — used only when an article cannot be salvaged — replace the article body with a retraction notice and a brief explanation, keeping the URL live so links remain stable.
Data corrections vs. content corrections
Match scores, school stats, and analytics on the platform are derived from the underlying dataset described in our methodology. If you spot a data error (e.g., a school's median test score appears wrong), reporting it the same way triggers a re-import from the source rather than an article edit. Re-imports are processed in the next data refresh cycle for that program.
Disputes
If we and a reporter disagree on whether something constitutes an error, we will explain the editorial decision in writing. Institutions that wish to dispute statistics derived from their own published disclosures should refer us to the specific document and edition we should be reading instead.
