<p>interestingguy - You suggested HYPM have other statistics (admit and yield rate) to justify their high SAT scores. Yet Caltech doesn’t. So it can logically be concluded, from your recent argument, that either Caltech cares about the SAT more and is really a caliber below HYPSM, or Caltech is just as good as HYPSM but it is a very unique institution on its own, creating the interesting case of having high SAT, high % admit, and low yield. I believe the second case is true. Either one undermines your initial argument of how Caltech compete with HYPSM in the same group for the general applicant.</p>
