Bucknell's admission raises questions

[bovertine]

<p>

“[D]uring each of those seven years, the scores of 13 to 47 students were omitted from the SAT calculation, with the result being that our mean scores were reported to be 7 to 25 points higher than they actually were on the 1600-point scale,”

Does the mean score matter for US News? Isn’t what they report in the rankings the 25% and 75%iles? How are those affected? Or do they base the ranking on the mean?</p>

<p>Just curious.</p>

<p>Likely there’s some relationship, just can’t be sure what it is.</p>
