At first glance, Bates and Conn appear to have very similar standardized test scores, as noted above. But it may not be quite that simple, because both schools are test-optional. The Common Data Sets show the following for enrolled freshmen in Fall 2015:

Bates: 54% submitted SATs, 27% submitted ACTs
Conn: 24% submitted SATs, 17% submitted ACTs

This doesn’t necessarily mean that 81% of Bates students or 41% of Conn students submitted test scores of some kind. The totals could actually be lower, because some students may have submitted both SATs and ACTs. However, it does appear that Bates students are much more likely to submit test scores than Conn students.
