Ahh, but that last statistic is cleverly spun to make it seem alarming!! Remember the original acceptance rate we’re dealing with here is like 9%! (Anyone know what it actually is?) So for SAT scores above 2300, the acceptance rate shoots up to… 25%?! That’s pretty awesome… or at least it would be if I thought I could distinguish myself in that pool. The trouble with a pool of applicants whose SAT scores are all above 2300 is that they are generally quite well qualified. Oh well.
