What was up with Maryland's and DC's  selectivity score of 224 for class of 2022? Neither have ever been that high. 
Due to pandemic conditions in fall of 2020, most state scores stayed the same or went down. 
My theory is that savvy and competitve students and parents in this area took advantage of the relaxed alternate score process and submittted high SAT scores from any time in junior year. 
I don't think the 224 cut-off will be repeated this year. 
Thoughts?[/quote]

This is common knowledge (although both states are close to the highest cutoff each year anyway). But I view it through a less cynical lens.  Most MD students didn't have the opportunity to take the psat since schools were closed almost all year, so their use of alternate entry wasn't to game the system but it was the only way to enter.

Np, I didnt read the take a cynical. Just trying to figure out why MD is such an oulier. 3 point jump during a pandemic when many states were unchanged or lower. It could be an interesting discussion. [/quote]

the poster said, "... savvy and competitive students and parents took advantage of the relaxed alternate score process ...." sounds cynical to me[/quote]

How is savvy and competitive cynical ? How is taking advantage of an opportunity cynical? The point is they may be more aware/better informed.
