I’m not sure I’d say it’s a myth - SFS applicant pool tends to have slightly stronger SAT scores and GPAs than the overall college - the data you cite supports that with its SAT range.

The applicant pool for SFS is also much smaller than the overall college application pool - and there is some evidence to suggest that SFS applicants are a bit more self-selective due to applicants generally being aware of their intended professional outcomes in ways the college students are not.

It’s a similar position some colleges make in why their ED admit rates are higher than RD - the pools are generally stronger via self selection.
