<p>I think all this emphasis on statistics in the Class of 2011 overlooks the high reliance ND places on intangible aspects of an application. I wonder if the numbers we see on these boards are skewed towards those with high statistics who might be more prone to use CC boards--or willing to post scores on them.</p>
<p>Kind of like how the alumni magazine class news is always filled with news of the super successful CEO types. It isn't that there aren't plenty of people out there in less glamorous or high paying jobs, and that there aren't, in fact, a number of women in particular who choose to be homemakers or to take on other roles that don't have a fancy title--it's more that they don't want to put themselves out there amidst the uber-successful.</p>
<p>I applaud Livelaughlove for posting his/her 28 on the ACT. Wonder how many others are out there, who either haven't been as concerned about the admissions process to both with going online or simply lurk and don't bother to post?</p>
<p>There's some smart people on this board. Even as high as a 32.5 ACT is as an average, recognizing that the scale tops out at 36, but has quite a bit more lattitude on the lower side, that still means that there are plenty of statistical offsets on the southern end of 32.5. Same holds true with median statistic figures which generally put the middle 50% in the 31-33 range. They can't all be varsity athletes and legacies. (Lots of legacies, by the way, pull that average up, not down...)</p>
<p>I've started a string on intangible aspects to the application process, to spur discussion on that aspect of the process:</p>
