<p>Thanks for the thoughtful response, Papa. Given that Colgate is very protective of their yield numbers-- they accept a large proportion of their freshman class through the early decision program etc., it would make sense that the discrepancy between the scores of those who are admitted and decide to attend and those that pick other more prestigious schools should be narrower than at schools that admit fewer applicants through ED since those who are admitted through ED commit to matriculate.</p>
<p>Out of curiosity, how does Middlebury manipulate their SAT figures</p>
