Does this even make sense (People who got into Yale from my school)

Applying to College
1

<p>There have been 44 total applicants since naviance went up</p>

<p>34 applied regular, 10 early
5 got in Regular, 2 early (so 16% admission rate overall)</p>

<p>Here's the strange part</p>

<p>The Average Scores by those Applied
Regular: 6.67 GPA, 1492/1600, 2207/2400
Early: 6.72 GPA, 1459/1600, 2214/2400</p>

<p>The Average Accepted:
Regular: 6.5 GPA, 1434/1600, 2113/2400 (It was actually lower until 1 7.0 got accepted this year)
Early: 6.72 GPA, 1385/1600, 2070/2400</p>

<p>Our GPA system is where an A is a 7, B is a 6, etc.</p>

<p>So how is the average accepted so much lower than the average applied?</p>

2

<p>Just shows you, stats don’t guarantee anything.</p>

<p>Besides, the sample is small and easily skewed.</p>

3

<p>Exactly, those kids were all good test takers and it shows that their only focus was not on tests. I’ll assume those kids accepted were involved and focused with leadership positions.</p>

4

<p>Yea stats are overrated for top colleges; personality is underrated.</p>

5

<p>Because those accepted had family connections and it wasn’t the stats that got them in :)</p>

6

<p>Or were athletes…</p>

7

<p>For this, I think Naviance should put medians instead of averages. Averages can be skewed by outliers, where medians are more reliable.</p>

8

<p>Lol, i’d accept them for the 6.0 gpa</p>

9

<p>H.C. HS</p>

<p>33 Applied, 7 Admitted, 6 Enrolled (2009)</p>

<p>Average Accepted (up to 2009)
Regular: 94.32/100, 1510/1600, 2287/2400
Early: 95.92/100, 1533/1600, 2311/2400</p>

<p>Hmm…</p>
