The College Board releases the data to schools that request it.

if before acceptance, maybe the kids chickened out or the parents sent them.

No it doesn't. The schools can request the scores from the students after the process is over, for the purposes of analysis.

Read the original report. Dartmouth Institutional Research division received data from the college board on students applicants between 2017 and 2022, which included a subset of enrolled students.

This is the answer. They can get the data about the kids who enroll after the admissions process is over.

Lee Coffin, Dartmouth's dean of admissions, also stated on YCBK podcast in November that the scores data came from the College Board not the applicants.

Dartmouth also had data about students who were not admitted and therefore who couldn’t have been enrolled. They had to get it from the College Board, and they say they got it from the College Board. But it went to institutional research rather than admissions, and it was probably anonymous or at least anonymized.

The study was not on enrolled the kids, although they were included as a subset. The study was on all applicants between 2017 and 2022 and also included ACT scores.

+1 clearly people on this board do not know how research works. The CB and ACT routinely provide data to academic researchers and there is a process through a university’s institutional review board (IRB) that protects privacy, etc.

Yes it does. My kid got letters from Harvard and Yale a mere few weeks after his ACT that stated “your scores make us think you’d be a good fit here”” to that extent.

Schools purchase the data from college board. They can set the criteria—all kids 35 and above ACT or 36s in verbal and reading, etc.
