[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure but a 25% reporting rate is not exactly impressive for a school that positions itself as elite. [/quote]

What is 25%? Are you the same poster with the fuzzy math? 30% submitted SAT scores and 15% submitted ACT scores, so that equals 45% who submitted scores. I am sure BC would love to get that 45% up to 50%, and if they do, they will likely get back on the Forbes new Ivies list. The only reason they dropped off is because of that number. [/quote]

More like 40% as at least 10-15% submit both.  Regardless, average Sats at BC are below 1500, well below in fact. Why this triggers you is weird.[/quote]

Prove it. Numbers say otherwise. [/quote]

You dropped on your head as a child?

Freshman Class
2,394

SAT 30% submit (700 students)
25%-50%-75%
1460-1500-1520

ACT 30-36 99% (366 students)
SAT concordance 1500=34 ACT

SAT 350 students score above 1500
ACT 163 students score above 34

Total: 513 students score either 1500 on SAT or 34 concordant score on ACT

Even kids dropped on their heads understand that everyone submits a 50 percentile score.

2,394 enrolled freshmen minus 513 1500/34 scorers.
1,881 scored lower than a 1500/34

Prior doesn’t matter. It is many years ago.

Today you don’t have the data to prove your point. You must have failed algebra. Too many assumptions. [/quote]
