<p>"UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA-SAN DIEGO 1200 4131 366 0.089"</p>

<p>UCSD's 75th percentile SAT is deffiantly not 1200. You have UCLA as a 1310, UC Irvine as a 1280, and UC Riverside in the 1400's lol? Am i reading this wrong? Chicago's SAT 75 percentile is deffiantly not a 1280. I must be reading your charts wrong, or it seems like the SAT scores on this chart are way way off for many of the schools.</p>

<p>ucchris-
You are reading correctly. The 75th percentile for UC San Diego should be 1360. I don't know how it happened but other SATs are also off. I'll have to fix it. I think I copied and pasted the SATs from one spreadsheet to this one and it didn't match up correctly. Sorry.</p>
