[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Georgetown requires high SAT scores. Michigan does not. The quality of the student body demonstrably reflects that.[/quote]
And yet Michigan enrolls many more high-scoring students. So either Georgetown rejects high-scoring students in favor of lower scoring ones, or high-scoring students strongly prefer Michigan (or both).[/quote]

Michigan is test-optional. 100% of the student body has to submit scores at Georgetown.

Geez. People still try to compare test optional (where only ppl with high scores submit and a good portion are so low they can’t submit) with test required schools.[/quote]

No, I’m comparing numbers of students.

Georgetown has 1,239 FTFY students reporting SAT scores, with a 75th percentile score of 1530. That’s 310 students scoring 1530+

Michigan has 4,503 FTFY students reporting SAT scores, with a 75th percentile score of 1530. That’s 1,126 students scoring 1530+

1,126 is more than 3.5 times 310. As I said: “Michigan enrolls a lot more high-scoring students.”[/quote]

In other words, 70% of Michigan's students scored below 1370 on the SAT. That is Michigan's 25% SAT score.  There are 8,100 students. Only 55% submitted an SAT score. So 6,000 students out of 8,000 are low scoring sub-1370.

Not the flex you think it is, lol.[/quote]
