<p>It’s not necessarily hard to believe per se, except perhaps that Chicago has historically refrained from emphasizing SAT scores in admissions, hence putting the standardized test scores of its students in the range of Columbia or Stanford, opposed to say, Princeton or Harvard. It’s more that Chicago’s statistics should be the same as it has self-reported on its website. If it’s not a mistake by US News (and I personally think that it probably is), I wonder what data these actually are. Admitted students for Fall 2008? Entering students in Fall 2009? I really do wish US News would clear this up.</p>
