<p>Mom2kids,</p>
<p>I did not mean to imply that the greater percentage of first year students scoring less than
700 on the math SAT was primarily due to the increase in the number of women at
Mudd. The focus of my remark about the increase in women was on the future effect that
this will have on who chooses to apply to Mudd. I actually think the more interesting
question is the future distribution of majors at the college. </p>
<p>I do not really have any idea who the students at Mudd would be who did score less than 700
on the Math SAT. I would imagine however that many of these students would have had
a difficult time with the old core. In my earlier post I was trying to make clear that I was
impressed by some of the changes that Mudd has made to try and help these students
succeed.</p>
