Dear Allen,
Have the Sat median scores been published for this year? You are right about unpredictability – so just like every other helicopter parent (is that the term?) I will panic and urge the poor overworked child a little more:)
Thank you for the regular updates.
I haven’t seen any SAT data yet, but the numbers don’t tend to change much year-over-year for the top schools. I’ve actually seen a lot of cases where the acceptance rate drops but the median scores decrease a little. In any case, I’ve recently updated my SAT score chart for the Ivy League, and I’m guessing the numbers you see there will all be within 10 points of the scores for the class of 2014.
Dear Allen
where can i chk early decision accepances trend for the top 25 colleges.
Also does it help to declare a major in the applicaion or is it ok to leave it at undecided?
