<p>I haven’t seen anything on SAT scores other than the general observation that the median is about the same.</p>
<p>Any changes to the overall median would have to come from lower end of the scale. They have only been accepting 40% of the applicants with an 800 SAT on either the math or verbal, according to Jim Bock. Now, that’s still a better acceptance rate than students who didn’t score an 800, but if they wanted to bump the stats, they probably could. As it is, over 20% of the freshman class typically scores a perfect 800 on at least one.</p>
<p>With Swarthmore’s admissions priorities, I don’t see them deciding to admit fewer low-stat [sic] students.</p>
