<p>Probaly too many were from the coasts, and H rejected them to add geographic diversity. Still, it's dubious. 25% of the students at H score above 790 on either V or M. You don't get that by rejecting a lot of 1580s, they way they pretend to be so non-chalant about scores. Hughes is a propagandist.</p>
<p>yeah, but that doesn't mean that 25% have a 1580 or higher</p>
<p>examples
800M 710V
or vice versa</p>
<p>I wish schools would give a range of the combined scores</p>
<p>True, but it's still obvious they are looking for high scores on one or the other. Harvard is totally image conscious and would never allow Yale or Pton to post a better 75th percentile. It's also why they have so many national merit scholars, which they achieve by taking apps from non-coastal states where the cutoff is so much lower. In short, the most brilliant people at Harvard are the admissions folks.</p>
<p>hahah well put</p>
