[quote=Anonymous]I have a few different takeaways from looking at the data. Please help me is I am reading incorrectly: 1. Successful legacy applicants had 60 point higher SATs, so at least statistically the hook value is dubious 2. Recruited athletes had the largest SAT gap with the class average at -188 points 3. Comparatively URM groups, while having lower SAT scores, were not as far behind as I thought at -55 points for Hisp/Lat and -99 points for AA 4. One of the highest correlations of scores seems to be with family income. Example, 133 point delta between $250k family and lowest income group (pure speculation, but this may explain quite a bit of the gaps in URM scores) 5. I have read elsewhere that recruited athletes on average have higher SES than the rest of the class 6. So, normalized for income, recruited athletes are the biggest drag on scores, the flipside of which is that being a recruited athlete is the single most valuable hook - perhaps by far[/quote]
