<p>I just want to challenge the idea that the lower percentage points on the Math SAT are due directly to the increase in women being accepted. Am I missing the data that breaks down these numbers by gender (or ethnicity?) My HMC student, a woman & a member of an underrepresented group (a really rather unwieldy euphemism) rocked 800’s on both the subject & reg math SAT test. This is my endless rant here - I actually think it is more likely a factor of socioeconomic diversity that might account for the slightly lower test scores - fewer opportunities for advanced courses at your school & less ability to take outside or college level courses, would make it harder to achieve the higher test scores even with raw talent. Anyway, HMC could be looking ahead at the changing demographics of the US and trying to adapt early to become a school that attracts the population of the future. Just my read, no inside info so I could be off-base.</p>
