<p>Don’t get me started on their correlation of SAT CR+M to “smart”.</p>
<p>The data itself does present some interesting findings, though. Most notably, it contradicts the myth that one can just slide into one of the nation’s top tech colleges with a mediocre verbal score.</p>
<p>Also notable is how it illustrates the success of Northeastern’s “game the system” approach to the USNWR rankings. 30% acceptance rate and 1390 CR+M…I wonder how many students with low SAT scores you have to punt into spring admissions to make that happen? ;-)</p>
