[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If every applicant below the current median doesn't submit, won't the median just shoot way up, thereby making the statistic meaningless?[/quote] What do you think is happening? Look at the Median scores at various schools...they are off the charts now.[/quote] You compare median scores with percentage reporting and kind of get a sense of the lay of the land. If it's a school where 10% are reporting scores and you're slightly below the recent median but way above the historical median, I'd report. If it's a school where 80% are reporting scores and you're slightly below the median, I'd go test optional (and consider the school a reach).[/quote]
