<p>I've found links to the Common Data Sets showing admission statistics for Princeton, Yale and Stanford but have not been able to find Harvard's. I heard a rumor that Harvard refuses to supply these detailed statistics but I find that hard to believe and am guessing that I simply don't know where to find it on their website. Byerly, you seem to know a great deal about Harvard; would you post a link if you have it?</p>
<p>Harvard does not use the Common Data Set, which was developed in order to allow schools to report numbers to the various guidebooks without filling out so many forms. Much of the same information is available in the Factbook.</p>

<p>Thank you, Byerly. I've looked at the information on those links but they don't contain the detailed breakdowns in the SAT scores that are required fields in the Common Data Set. Does Harvard not report those SAT details?</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>Harvard doesn't report the SAT distribution.</p>
<p>US News has NA (No Answer In every field for the SAT distribution Grid )</p>
<p>(Per US News 2006 for Harvard)
First-year students submitting SAT scores: 99%
SAT I scores (25/75 percentile):
Verbal: 700 790
Math: 700 790
Combined: 1400 1580</p>
<p>Percent of first-time, first-year students enrolled in Fall 2004 with scores in each range:
SAT I Verbal SAT I Math
700-800 N/A N/A
600-699 N/A N/A
500-599 N/A N/A
400-499 N/A N/A
300-399 N/A N/A</p>
<h2>200-299 N/A N/A</h2>
<p>But since the Top 75% are over 700 there wouldn't be much of a distribution to review anyway. :)</p>

<p>Thank you. It would be nice if Harvard were willing to provide the distribution percentages so that they could be compared more precisely to Princeton's, Yale's and Stanford's. On the other hand, as you note, they're so high for all of these schools that the differences would be small (and probably unimportant) anyway. I noticed on the news today that the new SAT national averages for the graduating class of 2005 have just been released. Examining the national averages emphasizes just how high these scores for Harvard, Princeton, Yale and Stanford really are!</p>

<p>Here's a link to a posting of other Common Data Sets I've Found</p>
<p>Have fun looking things up.</p>
<p>Richs, that's a wonderful link and resource. Thank you!</p>
<p>distributions?</p>
<p>US News & World Report claims on their ranking website that they get their SAT Data for ALL colleges from the Common Data Set. If Harvard doesn't report ths data
-to the Common Data Set
-on the Harvard Website</p>
<p>where does US News get these data from? Is Harvard hiding something?</p>
<p>Y > P > S</p>
<p>in terms of percentage of the incoming 2005-2006 class with SAT scores in the 700-800 range.</p>
<p>Yale V78%, M78%</p>
<p>Princeton V73%, M74%</p>
<p>Stanford V67%, M74%</p>
<p>(MIT V68%, M92%)</p>
