<p>The common data set for 2010-2011 has now been posted.</p>
<p>In many ways it is quite similar to the previous year but
there has been a slight shift in the percentage of students who have scores in the 600-699
range on the Math SAT from 5% to 9%. This is certainly a few percentage points larger than
in the last several years. It is unclear whether this will be a change that will repeat
for the incoming class but may be a reflection of the school looking for a wider range of
talents. MIT is similar but Caltech only matriculates two or three students with these scores.</p>
<p>It would appear given the changes in the core that Mudd does do a good job trying
to help students who although very strong perhaps need a little more help with the rigorous
core.</p>
