<p>does anybody know GWU’s class of 2014 ENROLLED students SAT range?</p>
<p>Admitted student stats are not very helpful, since there is quite a bit discrepancy between the admitted and enrolled students stats: in general, the enrolled students stats are lower (sometime by a lot) due to the fact that stronger candidates tend to have more options and and a good portion of them opt to go somewhere else. </p>
<p>I saw GWU announcement that the average of the class of 2014 with deposits was 1960. Assuming there is some summer melt, and again, it’s the students with strong stats who were on the waiting list of other school who might decide in favor or other schools at the last minutes, I would say, the enrolled average should be something like 1950. </p>
<p>Furthermore, among GWU’s broadly defined peer schools that use all three sections of SAT, the middle 50% spread is anywhere between 200-260, presumably with the average in the middle. If this is the case, the middle 50% spread of GWU class of 2014 ENROLLED students must be something like 1820-2070 or 1850-2050.</p>
<p>Hi Lizmane</p>
<p>I may be missing something here, but isn’t the “admitted” students SAT/ACT’s the most informative for potential students? That Admitted SAT range/average" is what competetion they’re up against. I realize the overall upper range may be skewed by high SAT applicants that enroll at wait-listed ivy’s for example, but that’s the case everywhere. </p>
<p>Once your enrolled, the SAT takes a back seat to your curriculum and grades - not many people ask your SAT scores - it all becomes GRE’s, LSAT’s/MCAT’s.</p>
<p>SAT’s/ACT’s are still part of some internship applications.</p>
<p>I guess I don’t see the need for the disctinction of “enrolled” student SAT’s?</p>
<p>I’m always willing to learn!</p>

<p>when I examined data from other schools (close enough to be GWU’s peers) that published detailed breakdown of SATs etc for ED admits (close to 100% yield), enrolled students, and admitted students, I found that the ED stats are very close to the enrolled students stats (a bit lower, but pretty close), while admitted students stats are anywhere between 50-80 points higher (out of the SAT 1600 scale) than the enrolled class profile.</p>
<p>So, if a candidate is applying to ED, looking at the enrolled students stats will give him/her a very good gauge of the ED competitive pool. </p>
<p>Furthermore, schools are trying to put together a strong ENROLLED class profile (these are data that gets published for common data sets, various college application sites, etc). As such, if a candidate is admissible vis a vis ENROLLED class profile, and show a LOT of interest in school (GWU cares a great deal about this), then measuring against the enrolled student SAT not the admitted student SAT profile will give a candidate much better ideas about where s/he stands.</p>
<p>caveat: no admissions officers verified this thinking. However, based on everything I learned so far, this seem like a logical assessment.</p>

<p>Lizmane,</p>
<p>I’m still mulling over your question. I doubt if you will be able to find stats for GW’s enrolled students (pretty sure even the common data set just gives the stats for admitted students) and I agree with CJ Madison above. If your goal is to be admitted, then you want to know where you stand in relation to other admitted students. </p>
<p>I have never seen GW publish score ranges for the ED students. I see that you like to analyze these things very carefully but I would caution against extrapolating too much from the information at hand. Admissions seems to be such a moving target that one year’s numbers can only guide, not predict with certainty.</p>
<p>Then there is the question of the score ranges for the individual schools within the university. While the respective admit rates were recently published in the Hatchet, the score ranges were not. I expect the University to keep that information close to the vest. Thus we add another degree of uncertainty to the equation.</p>
<p>I still believe that if a school is the student’s clear first choice (and the finances manageable, and you aren’t counting on 7th semester grades to significantly help your cause) then ED is the way to go. Test scores are only one part of the package anyway. </p>
<p>There are no certainties in this “game” but you’d have your answer in December.</p>

<p>I stand corrected. Common data set standardized test results are for enrolled students. The numbers cited by Brave Ulysses above are for the freshman class that entered fall 2009 (ie the Class of 2013), NOT 2010. The percentages listed to the right of the score ranges refer to the percentage of students who submitted the SAT or ACT.</p>
