[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people look at scattergrams? Why do people look at the CDS for stats? Why do people look at 25,50 and 75 percentiles for test scores for admitted students? You know why. [/quote] Because this is actually data. As opposed to a story here. Which even if true is nothing more than one data point. And therefore completely useless in helping figure out what your kid should do. [/quote] You are wrong. [b]Scattergrams, cds, percentiles do not give real data.[/b] You have no idea which gpa kid was TO or test submitted. scattergrams shows SAT, but not ACT. If you ask a poster what the stats are, you get far more accurate info, likely in a close geographic area to the DMV. If a poster responded saying her kid was admitted at UVA with a 4.2, TO, that’s much more info than you’d get from any other place. [/quote] Interesting. Is that what they teach these days? [/quote]
