[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wesleyan’s web site also shows the SAT scores of all admitted students who submitted scores. It’s at the very bottom of the attached.  Note that it includes all admitted and not just enrolled.  So if a kid applies to Wes but they goes to Brown, they are included.  To me, this shows the best shot at actual admissions, and I am not aware of anyone else doing this.

The attached shows a median SAT of 1530 for admitted students. 25th is 1480 and 75th is 1560.

I showed this to my kid with a 1500 applying to Wes, to suggest that one more sitting and maybe a 1530 might help. He told me now way.  Oh well!

Most colleges show the stats of admitted students.  Invariably the SAT is HIGHER for admitted students than enrolled students.  It is a sleight of hand marketing ploy.  [/quote]

I see it as a better indication of who actually in. Common data set asks for enrolled not admitted so the median is not the median of who actually gets in.  That’s what a lot of college coaches will tell unhooked kids to aim for the 75th% of the CDS. [/quote]
