<p>{RLT, Midd has been SAT optional for longer than that,}</p>
<p>I’m aware of that Ziggi. 
I was using the 04 stats b/c that was just before the other colleges became SAT optional.</p>
<p>“The Vermonters have visibly found the way to run circles around the USNews models. The fact that the numbers are self-reported and unaudited surely helps!” </p>
<p>Thanks for the info. And all the more reason to consider the US News rankings illegitimate.</p>
<p>“PS The rankings posted in the first post are not legitimate. For the record, Middlebury is ranked FIFTH this year. The real numbers were leaked last night.”</p>
<p>I see that.
