Are MSAR data wrong?

Members do not see this ad.

For example, NYU - No II for international student but Matriculated 1
How is it possible?
I have seen some school have higher number of II then verified application.
I assume all these data are automated from applications submitted in AMCAS and not manually entered.

Maybe that student was accepted in the previous cycle and deferred one year... so they didn't interview him that cycle, but he matriculated with the next class.

The data for MSAR comes from two different places
1) Applications submitted, verified, and residency (IS/OOS/Intl) come from aggregate AMCAS data. Please note that residency here is simply what applicant states as address on the AMCAS. It is NOT determining residency as each school may use in their admissions data and subsequent data.
2) all other data comes from each school entering numbers into end of cycle AMCAS reports. By this point most should be automated but still relies on data being entered correctly across systems, which can have human error, process error, or coding error
3) about 1% of matriculants per year report they did not attend any interview. These could come from linked UG/PB/SMP programs as well as other reasons

Now it make sense of discrepancy in some data
