Stanford Average SAT Score

kmc00 · 11-23-2006, 01:54 PM

I was wondering what the average SAT score is for incoming freshmen at Stanford. I realize that they do not publish this information, but I'm just looking for an estimate. Given their SAT ranges, I would say from 1450 to 1460.. and since yale's ranges are higher it would make sense that the average score there is around a 1490

yale - http://www.yale.edu/oir/open/pdf_pub...Fresh_SATs.pdf

So.. any thoughts?

Try the 2100-2360 range. 2100, in all honesty, would be pretty low, but okay if great achievement in other areas, ie research, has been completed.

Stanford Common Data Set:

http://www.stanford.edu/home/statistics/#admission

Common Data Set reporting has always till now been based on interquartile ranges, and it is an ERROR to guess average scores from the reported interquartile ranges. (It may be that the Common Data Set reporting rules will change for this school year, but those figures haven't been published yet.)

wow. 75 percent scored 780 or higher in Math?
am I interpreting this correctly?

No, the 75th percentile was 780 or higher.

Yes, as post #7 says, you read that as saying that 25 percent (that is, the TOP 25 percent) of students who were freshmen at Stanford in the reported year scored 780 or higher in math.

a bit off topic, but how does stanford view SAT writing scores? i have a 1570 M+V, but a 670 Writing. will my weaker writing score affect me?

yes stanford weights writing equally to math and CR
