I would encourage you guys to remember that correlation does not imply causation. Just because the group with higher SAT scores got admitted more frequently to Harvard does not mean that these higher scores were the cause of such admissions.

I’m sure Harvard doesn’t want to encourage this kind of thinking, and it’s probably why it doesn’t post acceptance rates by SAT scores.
