Below is the discussion we had about their CDS reporting from the last cycle. I would LOVE if they actually reported how most colleges do, so I’m really looking forward to seeing a change that makes comparison easier.
I’m trying to understand something, so hopefully someone has an idea of what’s happening. When I look at Wesleyan’s reported Class of 2027 profile , it shows a median SAT ERW of 750 and math of 760. However, the common data set for 2023-2024 shows 50% scores for ERW and math of 710 each.
So, am I reading it correctly that Wes admits students with a median (50%) score of 710 each (because this what goes into CDS), but the students that enroll have a higher SAT? It seemed odd to me, so wanted to make sure I was interpreting the data correctly. My expectation would have been the opposite since many students don’t submit SAT scores when applying (and those would likely below the 25% percentile), but might report them after admittance for school data collection.
