Subject: what do you think the 50% of Dartmouth's SAT scores are

Five kids applied (all unhooked, no athletes, no legacies). Three were accepted, one was waitlisted, and one was rejected.
The test scores of the accepted students (1500-1540) were lower than those of the waitlisted/rejected (1540-1580). And the GPAs of the acceptances were lower than of the waitlisted/rejected.
Yield protected. Dartmouth knew they were going to get in to HYPSM.
The waitlisted/rejected kids were not at the top of class and were not accepted to HYPSM. Dartmouth seemed to pick a particular type (not very academic) from our school.
