I was wondering about that. Is it that dSAT got a little bit harder?


nope. it was that the test optional years are being flushed out. once people have to submit their 1400, things come down a little. it's healthy

the DSAT is, so far at least, not showing lower scores than paper test.

Mind sharing data on this? A link?
Particularly showing the breakdown for 1570+.


1580 was top 1% on paper version and it's top 1% on digital.

I'm at work, but ask chatgpt and it will pull this up. DSAT scores are running slightly higher than the most recent paper tests. but really basically flat. they did year over year

This list is not super helpful. BC, for example, does a ton of yield management and accepts a lot of the class ED, so it's not at all a sure thing for SCEA students. Tufts also does a lot of yield management. Georgetown demands very high scores but is definitely easier than Penn/Cornell/Brown if your kid has them. ND is a good backup for SCEA kids, but for students who are not a great fit, it's a bad fit.


Now that georgetown is on the common app, I don't think their admission rate will be much different than other T25 schools.

Wrong! BC has been stagnant in rankings for well over a decade in the high 30s- 40 range. BC like Tulane and Wake Forest thrive on accepting kids from full pay private schools that can’t get into top 25 schools. It does seem to attract more non Catholic families than higher ranked ND because of its secular name Boston College. But its leadership like ND is conservative, traditional Catholic unlike Georgetown.

BC is not really T30 but it is harder than NYU.
Uchicago for non-athletes will take ED down to the bottom of the second decile or lower. It is by far the easiest T15-18 but the students are much higher caliber than the NYU and BC ED crew.

Is UChicago ED easier than Emory or WashU RD?



Lol… NO

yes. 1000%. If you are coming from a top DC private, Chicago will take you with a 3.6-3.7 ED.
Emory and Wash U will routinely turn down 3.95 RD---because at that point there every top20 is random and extremely competitive. There is no school that is a guarantee in the RD round.
