[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For class of 2028 enrolled students score submission
Williams,35% SAT, 15% ACT
Amherst 39% SAT, 22% ACT

They may want to go back to test required, but that's a little jump from these numbers. Hard to say.

Williams 25th percentile now is 1500, back when tests were required it was 1430. Amherst 25th percentile is now 1500, back when tests were required it was 1410.[/quote]

They will remain TO because they want the flexibility. Amherst was 21% FGLI this year, 35% recruited athletes. Test required doesn't allow them to build the classes they want. Everyone knows if you're unhooked and not an institutional priority, you need to submit the scores though.[/quote]

Wait so 56% of Amherst's class is either FGLI or recruited athlete?? This just confirms it's absolutely pointless to apply ED to any of the top LACs. Nearly all the spots are taken by recruit athlete/FGLI.

Also, I think it builds a lot of divisions in the student population: social class and sports teams.[/quote]

plenty of athletes are FGLI. plenty are rich, but just saying you can't add those number together. you see this on every team. [/quote]
I will give you a high low of only 10% of recruited athletes first gen. Regardless, because there is athlete attrition every year, the recruited freshman class has to be higher than the overall athlete percentage.[/quote]
