<p>Penn is very ambiguous about its SAT statistics.</p>
<p>The SAT score for accepted students does not equal to SAT score for enrolled students. What matters is the SAT score of the enrolled students. For a bottom Ivy like Penn, the SAT score of its accepted students is much higher than that of its enrolled students. Top students who are accepted by Penn will most likely to choose HYPSM, Columbia, or Dartmouth.</p>
<p>An average Duke applicant has a 20-point edge in SAT score than a Penn’s applicant.</p>
<p>collegedata.com provides a random sample. 300 observations, although small relative Penn’s total number of applicants, gives much information as to the quality of applicants.</p>
