<p>bud123, I read those numbers as being very similar, especially if you use the correct mid-50% SAT range for RD 2017, which is 1410-1570. In my opinion, the difference in acceptance % is (mostly) a reflection of the application pool, it doesn’t indicate a significantly lower bar.</p>
<p>(I don’t mean to nitpick, but since people take these stats seriously, I checked the VU Factbook.)</p>
