Of admitted students, the middle 50 percent scored between 690 and 770 on the writing and language section and between 680 and 770 on the math section. On the ACT, the middle 50 percent scored between 31 and 34.

Deacon said that students taking the new test tended to score higher, which would have encouraged them to apply to top-tier schools like Georgetown.

“This was a redesigned test that sort of made it more like the ACT in the sense that it was more aligned with curricular-type things as opposed to just academic power,” Deacon said. “Our overall SAT averages of the pool increased by 25 points. That would suggest that the people who were getting higher scores decided to apply to tougher colleges.”
