Admission trends

<p>So after lurking on this site, I found out that those with a SAT score higher than 2300 will likely to be rejected at HYPSM, but have a higher chance at Columbia/ Dartmouth/ Penn, and will likely to be accepted at Rice, Cornell etc.
Colleges are turning away more 1) Asians 2) Perfect stats and 3) Laundry List ECs, according to my little "research"
So what have you found after seeing posts on CC, assuming everyone who posts their stats speak the truth? And how does it affect your "dream stats" now?</p>

<p>Even if it were true that

, you still have selection bias in the data you are trying to analyze. Therefore, I would not try to draw any conclusions.</p>

<p>This may be true, but it’s also true that students with an SAT of 2300 or below are also likely to be rejected at HYPSM. And in greater numbers, I’d venture to say.</p>

<p>In fact, pretty much everybody is likely to be rejected at HYPSM. I’m just not sure this is a very meaningful observation.</p>

<p>I forgot to say that the range from 2100-2300 are more likely to be accepted than anyone else</p>

<p>Your statement above is incongruous for Yale. Admit rates are consistently higher, the higher the scores. More aggregate students who score 2100-2300 are accepted, true. That’s because there are fewer students who score above 2300 who are applying. But as for admit rates, the higher the better. You numbers may also reflect hooked applicants as well.</p>
