[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does US News use some proprietary data to calculate the average?  How does it know everyone's score?  The average that it uses in its list is different than what one would expect from the common data sets which show the 25th and 75th percentile.  But somehow US News knows the scores themselves?

It isn't surprising you won't see UVA on the list.  I'm sure the average scores of those in the 25th percentile are pretty low considering they take in kids from all the counties.

Same thing for Michigan and North Carolina.  On average those schools are going to have a much lower SAT average than the private schools.[/quote]

The article states that colleges reported the data to USNews via the annual survey.[/quote]

Too bad that US News doesn't provide the average for all schools.  I wonder why they limit it to only the top 35?  Between national universities and selective liberal arts schools they have left out an awful lot of schools that we don't know the averages of.

Johns Hopkins, William and Mary, Georgetown, UVA, UNC, Georgia Tech, etc.[/quote]

Georgetown requires ALL scores.  Every.single.student submits and is in the average.  It's why LESS selective schools can have test scores similar because they have so many TO students and only the highest scorers are submitting--the 35-36ACT.
