[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

That is entirely something else.

You either submit or you don't.  If you submit, you better have a high SAT score because roughly half of those who submit have an SAT score have a 1500.  If not then you are TO.

Right, so we can reasonably impute a genuine average SAT significantly lower than 1500 at BC.[/quote]

It’s certainly lower than 1500 but we don’t have enough data to say “significantly lower”.

Their admissions website has a giant graphic for average SAT - 1471[/quote]

Average and 50% are two different calculations. Average is a simple average of all SATs. 50% is the median. The CDS reports median...I don't believe they always report average, but often they report different stats on their website.[/quote]

PS I should add, it appears people here are using the CDS for the class of 28, which is the latest one published. The class of 28 (source CDS) and 29 (source BC webpage) both show [b]1500 is the 50% [/b]and. The 25% and 75% are slightly different for each year. Regardless, average is never necessarily the same as 50% and is only shown on the webpage for class of 29 in this instance.[/quote]

Out of scores submitted. The actual median is lower.
