High Point University stats vs opinion

I also looked, and it doesn’t appear to be published. However, the combined mid-point of the two SAT sections in the IPEDS database is 1175 for enrolled students Fall 2020. The sum of 75% is 1240. The 1281 they have on their “Freshman Class Profile” does say “admitted students”. I do find it misleading to say it’s a “class profile” but not provide data for just the class.

As a comparable, Elon’s IPEDS 2020 numbers are 1230 and 1320, close to the 1250 noted (also listed for Class of 2025, with no qualifier). As we’ve seen with NYU going from 1455 (IPEDS mid 2020) to 1540 (“admitted”, 2021), these numbers can be of dubious meaning in a test optional year.
