[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, that test score isn't really materially different than a kid with, say, a 1560. It's basically a lottery at those schools. [/quote]

Would you rather have a 1 in 12 shot at the lottery or a 1 in 5?  That is the difference in the Ivies between a 1490 and a 1560.[/quote]

You're just making shit up now[/quote]

That's straight from Dartmouth.  If you apply to Dartmouth with a 1490, you have less than a 7% chance of admission.  If you apply to Dartmouth with a 1560, you have greater than a 20% chance of admission.

The entire idea of the study was to go test required bc high achieving kids from less known HSs and/or with lower test scores coming from that school weren’t submitting their scores and scores from them around a 1400 would have improved admission chances.

However…

Absolutely none of that applies really now bc all of that data  and that study were based on test scores submitted at a time when the school was TO. It no longer is.

They were last TO for the 2024 graduating year…and they failed to disclose their 25/50/75% standardized testing info in the released CDS (missing from p. 10 would otherwise be here but it’s blank: https://www.dartmouth.edu/oir/pdfs/cds_2023-2024.pdf)

So no one knows what scores are or are not being admitted there now that they are test required …and stop trying to say otherwise.

Seems like the SAT stats from the TO era would be insightful then for a UMC kid applying.  If kids with 1400s start getting in, it won’t be the rich ones. [/quote]
