[quote=Anonymous]Maybe you and I ate reading different things, but many of the articles clearly define the sort of testing, class rank, and diversity stats the school was looking for. Did you bother clicking the links? That WashU's middle 50% for the SAT was 1500-1560 (basically a perfect score) seems to indicate they were especially test conscious this year. A student with a 1450 (great score- 98th percentile) would be below the 25th percentile for WashU admitted students this year.

I don't think anyone is saying make this your only source of info, but there's no denying there IS useful info in there.

As for acceptance rates, yes I agree they're not a great measure of quality since they can be manipulated readily. But the fact of the matter is that Y school admitted Z% of applicants this year. It's a fundametal  facet tied to the process, flawed as if is.

Also, most schools don't release a formal admitted student profile along the lines of the CDS. That publicity article is it. The profiles usually describe the enrolling class.[/quote]
