[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Observations: Vandy's 25th percentile is currently 1490/34, with 61% (max, excluding overlap) submitting scores. Back in fall 2020, the 25th percentile was 1470/33, with 100% submitting scores. Historically, Vandy has always liked high scores, seeming to emphasize academic stats over more subjective parts of the app. It will be interesting to see what Vandy does going forward. If I were Vandy, [b]I would want to see that % submitting a bit higher.[/b][/quote]

I agree, especially if Vandy wants to be a peer of schools that only accept 10-20% TO because of brand strength. Ironically, that will not happen if Vandy doesn't encourage people to submit with scores between the 25th and 50th percentile. [/quote]

Someone should make a calculator to readjust the 25-75th percentiles to estimate what they would be with 100% reporting.

Say school A is 1480-1550 with 90% reporting --> maybe that's 1470-1550
But school B is 1500-1570 with 50% reporting --> probably more like 1420-1530[/quote]
