Well, this is a strong counterpoint to the alumni/patronage theory. All the Ivies seem to be selecting the smartest of the bunch. Grades and standardized test scores matter.
- interroboink 3y agoYet in the chart, at the bottom ("Commentary"), it says: "Their 100- and 177-point SAT score lead ... seems to have hurt, not helped, their chances of admission"
- richiebful1 3y agoCan you draw that conclusion from these charts? The only SAT score chart is a mean SAT score across the entire US, not the Ivies
- drtz 3y agoYour comment is a perfect example of how this kind of data can be misinterpreted and distorted, intentionally or otherwise. There is no information in these charts about the test scores of those admitted.
