Thanks for trying to clear that up, but actually they are the stats for enrolled students, not just admitted. I used the term admitted when I should have used the term enrolled. Feel free to check this fact from so many of the web sites that posted Dukes SAT range of enrolled students. And while I don’t know that 20% of the applicants were accepted, I do know that 50% of Dukes enrolled students scored in that range. Thus, many people are making the incorrect assumption that a score in the middle of this range should give you an “average” (average being open to interpretation) chance of acceptance. This is the main point of my post.

So I guess “the truth” still is the truth huh?
