Look pretty comparable to me. [/quote]

These numbers are from older CDS, when Bowdoin was reporting scores whether submitted or not. Percent in top 10% info is not very meaningful because such a small fraction of attending students submit this data.[/quote]

NP here. Right, the point is that when Bowdoin was reporting all scores, they were comparable to Wesleyan’s. Now that they aren’t, they look higher. But it’s a mirage.

Here are Wesleyan’s scores for submitters only (class of 2027, 58% of admitted students submitted):
                                        ACT     SAT V   SAT M
Admit 75th percentile:	35	   770	790
Admit Median:	                34	   750	770
Admit 25th percentile:	33	   730	750
