[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some Colgate supporters may bristle with this take, but its popularity has crested.[/quote]

As far as Colgate's trajectory, I would encourage people to trust the data and not some fartknocker on a forum. Acceptance rate dropping by 50% every year. SAT and ACT midranges climbing. Doesn't sound like cresting to me.[/quote]

The SAT midrange this year is 1460-1540, up from 1360-1490 in just one year! Why? A whole new class of students hijacked from Dartmouth? Um, no.
It's because with the new test-optional policies, most applicants below the previous year's 25/75 midrange, or even below the 50th percentile, are not submitting. Which is also responsible for the compression of the 25/75 numbers. It's also true that at Colgate, the acceptance rate for test submitters was about 3x the number for non-submitters. Another interesting number is Colgate's average GPA, stated as 3.95. REALLY? Up from 3.7 in one year? If correct, it means that and overwhelming majority of the freshman class had a 4.0 gpa (on a 4.0 scale)[/quote]
