At the admitted student reception for '22 last year they stated that the average was 1510. The number sticks in my mind because that was what my son scored.
@BrianBoiler ok, if they stated a specific figure that’s the number then. So 1525 this year (assuming Nondorf just deals with averages). Would love to know if the range shifted at all. 1530 is just at 35C for ACT. 1500 is a 34. It’s kind possible that the range is something equivalent to a 34 - 36 ACT. Of it’s quite possible that TO shifted up the scores . . .
From the Maroon:
The acceptance rate for the Class of 2023 reached an all-time low of 5.9 percent, Dean of Admissions James Nondorf said during an admitted students reception held at Credit Suisse in New York on Saturday. The acceptance rate for the Class of 2022 was 7.2 percent, 1.3 percentage points higher than for the Class of 2023. This year’s acceptance rate is the lowest in the University’s history.
According to Nondorf, the University received just under 35,000 applications, an increase of almost 3,000 applicants compared to the 32,291 applicants for the Class of 2022.
