Why is University of Michigan so low in USNWR?

<p>

Alexandre, its relevant to note that Brown and Cornell are SAT-heavy schools so the ones who submit ACT scores to these two universities belong on the lower end of test scores across the spectrum of the enrolled students. Many of the Brown admits who took the ACT did so since they didn’t do as well on the SAT and wanted to try their hand at another exam to see if they would do better.</p>

<p>This can be corroborated when we compare SAT scores of enrolled students between Brown and the University of Michigan:</p>

<p>Percentage of Students who Score over 700 on SAT Math
Brown: 67%
U of M: 27%</p>

<p>Percentage of Students who Score over 700 on SAT Critical Reading
Brown: 62%
U of M: 52%</p>

<p>As you can see, a significant difference exists here.</p>
