<p>Does anyone know if Whitman superscores? I can't find it anywhere on the website.</p>
<p>Bumpity-bump. :$</p>
<p>They do. I heard it from the mouth of an admissions counselor.</p>
<p>Since Whitman isn't exactly one of the top choices for people on this site, I doubt anybody will know for sure. </p>
<p>If you can't find it on the website, just email the Office of Undergrad Admissions just to be sure. I'm sure they'd be happy to reply to your question. :D</p>
<p>Will do. Thanks :)!</p>
<p>^ Lmao. Did I not sound legit enough?</p>
<p>My apologies.</p>
<p>Here, let me rephrase...</p>
<p>Of the several times I've corresponded with multiple Whitman admissions officers/counselors, they have made it abundantly clear that they do superscore.</p>
<p>:O</p>
<p>Sorry, Joli. Your first post actually sneaked up on me -- I could've sworn it wasn't there earlier. But yes, you do sound very legit. Thank you so much for the information!</p>
<p>sorry to sound stupid...but what exactly does superscoring mean??</p>
<p>Best scores of several taken.....meaning they ignore and drop your lowest scores....to give you the best picture. Most schools do it.....to give YOU the benefit of the doubt.....its not a trick....its simple math.....</p>
<p>THOUGH...they do see ALL of your scores....its a more compassionate methodology. Schools that superscore typically dont use the SAT as their biggest admission factor.</p>
<p>Whitman is a very small school in Walla Walla Washington.....asparagus country. Its highly respected. Chief Justice William O Douglas was a graduate of Whitman. Its a liberal arts college that is HIGHLY competitive but draws mostly from the Northwest and California and some Rocky Mtn. states.</p>
<p>Its a great school. Either you like Southeast Washington State or you dont. Its 6 hours to Seattle and not an easy trek. Its in the corner near Idaho and Oregon. But its a great school, again.</p>
<p>In defense of Whitman:</p>
<p>For followers of US News Top Colleges: </p>
<p>LAC's west of the Mississippi:</p>
<p>The Claremont Consortium in Pomona, California take the top:</p>
<ol>
<li>Pomona </li>
<li>Claremont McKenna</li>
<li>Harvey Mudd</li>
<li><p>Scripps</p></li>
<li><p>Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Colorado</p></li>
<li><p>Occidental in Los Angeles</p></li>
<li><p>Whitman in Walla Walla Washington</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Do not sneeze at Whitman.</p>
<p>"The Claremont Consortium in Pomona, California take the top"</p>
<p>I'm being totally picky but the Claremont Consortium is in Claremont.</p>
<p>Thanks rocket. CC viewers value precision, and I appreciate the correction!</p>
<p>does anyone know if Brown superscores?</p>
