UCLA vs Wesleyan

<p>Regarding SAT scores between the two:</p>

<p>1) You have to remember that UCLA is a public U that devalues scores, esp for those students from poor economic background who can’t “buy” high scores, by many retakes combined with the study under personal tutors or “expensive” prep courses (expensive for the poorer students). I would guess that UCLA would have higher mean gpas weighted/unweighted between the two, and higher average class rank.</p>

<p>2) Wesleyan undoubtedly superscores. UCLA does not; in addition it counts all scores, even those redundant ones students have taken between the SAT and ACT, a total of 125%+ and in some years almost as high as 140%. I would imagine all private u’s would count exactly 100%, or highest scores from each individual student.</p>
