[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Super scoring is one thing that makes these numbers unnaturally high.[/quote]

Not all schools super score.  Notre Dame only started super scoring for class of 2023 admission season, so those numbers are pretty solid.[/quote]

You mean schools that super score are putting down the super scored scores but schools that don't super score are putting down non-super scored scores?  I find it hard to believe that they haven't somehow adjusted for this difference in policy. [/quote]

No one polices the common data sets. Different schools indeed can - and do - decide whether to report super scores there or not, the same way that some report GPas and others don’t.

A lot of schools don't comment on how they calculated.  Some do.  Here is Claremont McKenna:

CMC uses a practice called "superscoring". Superscoring is done among and between exams. For among, the highest individual score for
each section of the SAT or ACT is taken and combined to get a composite score. For between, the higher
composite score of the two exams is taken and stored in the database. If a student takes one (or both) of the
exams more than once, the same exercise is conducted using the highest score for each section.[/quote]
