<p>Xiggi, you are the one who is confused. All universities keep records of just one verbal and one math score. The rest are not included in their records and therefore, not included in their CDS. Schools that don’t superscore would report significantly lower SAT averages than schools that do superscore.</p>
<p>And I am not sure I understand your point about the ACT to SAT conversion. Michigan’s mean SAT is 1320. Cornell’s is 1400 and Brown’s is 1430. And yet, somehow, the ACT averages between those three schools are virtually identical. </p>
<p>And you also forget the second part of the issue. Students at Cornell and Brown and any private university, prepare much, much, much, much harder for the ACT/SAT than do students at schools like Cal and Michigan.</p>
