[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SAM2: Please tell the readership the whole story. Candidacy is based on SAT scores however these scores will vary from State to State and District. The top 30 SAT scores in Mississippi or D.C. may be lower than the top 30 SAT scores in MD, MA or VA. The schools you mention compared to TJ and Blair Magnet are all in D.C., correct? If these private schools you site had residential status in VA and MD do you really believe the data you present will stay the same? Hardly. The raw scores and means eliminates this confounder. Thus, if you want to compare SAT scores (a basis for Presidential Scholarship) between schools in 3 States why not just look at the raw scores.[/quote] You're right about Mississippi but wrong about DC. ETS made a policy decision that DC's cut-off would be the the same as the most stringent state standard. (Which, some years, is MD, I think).[/quote]
