Comparison between top colleges and university

Hey, moron, I stated the 75th percentiles were from 2015. Furthermore, you don't get the 75th percentile composite score by adding the 75th percentile math and 75th percentile English. It would have been a lot easier to read the thread than checking the numbers, but I would expect nothing more from DCUM.

Colleges do not report composite scores in the Common Data Set. You can't calculate a 75th percentile composite by adding 75th percentiles for EBRW and for math. Let's be clear: there is NO COLLEGE in the US with a 75th percentile composite of 1600. None. Not only is 2015 data just plain old, it is also prior to the 2016 redesign, not the current test. In short, the data in OP's post is, unfortunately, crap data. (I feel your pain. I have my own spreadsheets.)

If you want the most recent data, you will have to deal with the fact that you will be working with section scores. You can get freshmen fall 2018, class of 2022 data from the Common Data Sets at https://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/. There is also a way to pull your own data from there. Common Data Sets with data for freshmen fall 2019, the class of 2023, aren't posted yet.

If you are dealing with a short list, you may be able to dig up class of 2023 data on individual college admission websites, though sometimes it represents admitted students rather than enrolled; there is no consistency with class profiles, which makes it less ideal for comparison purposes. The Common Data Sets are better for comparison.

2015 SAT was on a 2400 scale. Who's the moron? Try again.

I gave you the data source and said why I didn't t care that it was not precise. If you want to update the analysis, do so. Anyway, read the f-ing thread before demonstrating your stupidity.

Your poor kid. Can't imagine why he wouldn't be interested in anything you have to say. Please get some help for your anger issues - really, you can't go through life like this.
