<p>Sam, US News asks the same questions of all the schools - by now I suspect each school knows the exact terms and definitions of each question. It is possible that any school can falsely submit scores or not answer the question that US News asks (whether or not they post their scores on their website). We can’t control that. But we do know that when US News adds up the data they receive to the questions they ask, they rank Wash U number six in selectivity and the SAT scores that Wash U reports are higher than the SAT scores that Stanford reports. You just have to live with that. You can argue all day long that Wash U’s information is slanted and I can argue all day long that the other school’s information is slanted - no one’s going to win that argument.</p>
