<p>Nighthawk,
Dartmouth provides quite a bit of information about the quality of their applicant pool. For example, 16.2% of the applicants that took the SAT scored 800 on math. That’s enough to fill the incoming class 3 times over.

<p>I don’t think you are right about Harvard. Their yield is 77% and it is not inflated by ED since they don’t offer ED. The students that apply really, really want to go there.</p>
