Outliers are just that, they would make up a minute amount of students. I’m no actuary but there are some interesting numbers I’ve come across. Apparently the “average” Harvard student has an AI of 225. Thus a 3.9 and 33 ACT would fall into the 50% of students accepted into Harvard. Obviously the above median student would then have a 3.9 AND above 33 ACT or a 4.0 AND 33+ ACT would significantly increase the acceptance rate for applicants as the chart also shows. Based on the stats it appears that “qualified” applicants would fall in the 210 -240 range with obvious exceptions(very few). Thus the students who apply without showing exceptionalism in a particular area/field will draw the acceptance rate way down.A 3.7 29 ACT applicant has slim chances of being accepted but certainly heavily contribute to the low rate of 7% portrayed.
