<p>I was flat-out wrong on Writing scores being lower than Verbal. I thought I’ve seen databases of students at high schools that manifested lower W than V. This might be true, but wrt UCLA, the matriculants at the U have higher scores on W than V. In any case, assuming symmetry of scores would never work; however, I was just using this for convenience to try to achieve a two-part reporting from a three.</p>
