“As far as SAT scores are concerned, it’s probably worth mentioning that a significantly higher portion of Duke’s incoming class submits SAT scores (NU leans towards the ACT).”

This is not true. 80% of NU entering freshman submit the SAT, while 93% do so for Duke. This is statistically insignificant. In each case, the sample size is so large that clearly the SAT statistics are accurate for both schools. Plus, my investigation shows that the math scores for NU and Duke are almost identical (700 to 780, middle 50%). Please provide any statistics which prove otherwise.

ChaChaanTeng is correct, a 10 point difference on the SAT is not worth mentioning.
