[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now their average SAT will go up because on the kids who are really proud of their scores will send them. That will make their rankings go up.[/quote] This. This is not about lowering standards. It's about (1) increasing the number of applications received, so as to decrease the acceptance rate and make the school look more selective, and (2) increasing the average test scores of admitted students. Admitted students with great scores will be reflected in the average, while admitted students with less than great scores might not have sent them in the first place, so they aren't pulling the average down. It's all a game, and GWU has been playing it for years. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/08/education/edlife/how-to-raise-a-universitys-profile-pricing-and-packaging.html?_r=0 [/quote]
