That may actually have occurred a year or two ago at Northwestern University which has the nation’s only undergraduate School of Education & Social Policy (SESP), which is normally only offered in graduate schools. This small, unique and highly personalized school went from the lowest average SATs to the highest average SATs within Northwestern University.
Northwestern University allows students in any of the other five (5) schools to also take classes & declare majors & minors in the sixth of six (6) schools, the Weinberg College of Arts & Sciences so there is not a significant difference among the SAT I average scores school to school.
