Should I submit 1390 SAT to Bates? Applying to College

Possible, but they were admitted over people with near perfect scores. So it’s not the full story.

Maybe, maybe not. Yield is a factor, the Common Data Set is for enrolled students. So maybe those with much higher scores chose to go elsewhere.

In 2020-21, the middle 50% of scores for enrolled students was 1210-1410 for SAT and 27-33 for ACT. Combining both SAT & ACT, 96% of enrolled students submitted scores in 2020-2021, compared to a total of 28% of scores submitted in 2023-2024.

I know verification of scores applicants asked to be considered is required upon enrollment, but it certainly seems like when more kids submitted, the scores were lower for kids who ultimately committed to Bates.
