[quote=Anonymous]Basically, someone in a prominent admissions office needs to leak the data. Where are the whistle blowers when we need them?! Studies like this one, about test-optional admissions at Dartmouth, are helpful if you're wonky. For instance, you can see the gradiant of admissions probabilities by SAT score, which shows that it pretty much always helps, often substantially, to get a higher score. So if your child pulled a 1500 and thinks they could hit 1550, don't discourage them from trying again. https://www.nber.org/papers/w33389?utm_campaign=ntwh&utm_medium=email&utm_source=ntwg2 Also, if your child attends a low-income school or is first-generation, they get a pretty substantial admissions advantage holding SAT scores equal. That's not something I knew before, at least the size of the advantage. [/quote] Feels like there is a market for algorithm-based consulting to provide more certainty in helping to make the list. However, my guess is that enrollment management consultants probably sign some sort of contract preventing them from using proprietary info, an anti-compete clause or similar. Sorry, too much coffee this morning.[/quote][/quote] The algo might be different for different high schools - its why there's so much discrepancy (some HS get 20% of the class into Michigan while others get 1% etc). It looks like they score, so there probably is some sort of algo already: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/45/1224166.page [/quote][/quote]
