Yeah, but i’m not going to wes.
Hooray for horrific financial aid!</p>
<p>Other schools too have noticed a drop in SAT scores.</p>

<p>Another article in the Times:</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/11/education/11sat.html?_r=1&oref=login[/url]”>http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/11/education/11sat.html?_r=1&oref=login</a></p>
<p>seems fairly widespread.</p>
<p>Those articles only cite the avg SATs for applicants, not accepted students. The only college that referenced both (Dickinson) said that although the applicant pool scores were down 6 points that the accepted pool was up 8 points. However, Colgate reported that their accepted pool was down 6 points, probably related to getting less applicants than the year before.</p>
<p>I don’t think 136 fewer applications could drive SAT scores down by 6 points.</p>
<p>I doubt it’s the main reason too and probably has a lot more to do with a slightly weaker applicant pool, since they actually accepted 42 more students than the year before despite 136 less applicants.</p>
