[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This type of ranking is not useful under test optional. If a school only has a small percentage reporting but a higher average, that doesn't mean that overall their enrolled class has a higher average than the fifty other schools they leapfrogged due to their low % submitting.[/quote]
Yes but save Rochester, Northeastern, Boston University, Santa Clara and many at the very bottom of the list, most have 50-60% submitting. Not that huge a difference.[/quote]
Or 40-60. It's not like half are 20% and half are 80%[/quote]

The one that really stands out is Georgetown -- 1480, but 100% reporting. I wonder how many spaces it would move up the rankings all schools medians were based on 100% reported scores?[/quote]
Identical twins UVA and W&M would probably move down (around 1400-1410 median for both before TO.) Tulane, obviously Northeastern. Guessing Cornell would also probably move down just because of the sheer volume of seats they have to fill, especially considering the coming demographic cliff.[/quote]
