[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Well, if the accepted median score was higher it means there were more kids who scored higher than applicants to other centers. To get in this HGC means your kid will have to score higher on this test. [b]Having to score higher means harder[/b]. What am I missing here? Unless you are arguing that is other than the top half of accepted students, the other half and the not accepted students are somehow scored lower than other centers, that is a deeper point differentiating median from mean, and somehow I don't think that is what your are arguing about. [/quote] No, a higher median score just means a higher median score. Let's say that there are two HGCs. At HGC #1, 800 students apply for 36 spots, and the median score is 30. At HGC #2, 72 students apply for 36 spots, and the median score is 35. Which HGC is harder to get into?[/quote]
