<p>mudd is currently trying to widen the types of people that attend the school. they are trying to bring in more underrepresented minorities. i know that caltech has a similar situation, but i think it is particularly influencial on the SAT average due to the size factor and because i think that they are putting a little more weight on this issue than at caltech. with that said, however, i KNOW that caltech is trying to increase minority representation and stuff. i don’t think it is to the extent of mudd though.</p>
<p>interpret/apply that influence on the SAT scores. if caltech were SO much better, than we would never be right up there in academic competitions, PhD productivity, and national academic honors.</p>
