1520 of those who committed.
Bryn Mawr & Haverford are part of the “Quaker consortium”, along with UPenn & Swarthmore. All four schools are non-denominational, and none of them have religious symbols (which are not even a thing for Quakers), course requirements or restrictions on birth control.
There are religious events held on pretty much every campus, including NYU and state unis. There is no requirement to attend them, even at pretty openly religious schools.
Sorry -meant to say 1540 of those who committed and sent in a test. I couldn’t find the # - but elite schools like Wesley are over 40%. BU says a 34 ACT - of those who submitted.
I’m sure with a 1540 (on their website) median - over half the kids went TO…there’s no way otherwise NYU pulled a median 1540. No way.

Obviously if a student was able to take the ACT/SAT and got a very high score they would submit it. If they got a low score they would not. Average test scores last cycle are meaningless.

Maybe not meaningless, but certainly test scores ranges for admitted students were higher for class of 2025 (at selective schools) because many applicants only submitted test scores if they were at least as high as the last year’s median.
NYU’s enrolled SAT median will likely drop off from that 1540 admitted median a bit, but we won’t know that until next spring, when the CDS is published.
Yes, most definitely scores must have been greatly skewed last cycle and I assume that they will be for this cycle as well with so many schools being TO. But I guess my thinking was that for a student who is not from an URM, SAT would have to be over 1350 in order to be reasonably competitive anywhere less than a 10% admission rate (CAS at NYU was 9% last cycle). Or that EC’s would really need to stand out, which I’m not sure that my D21’s necessarily do.
S21 had a 1530 SAT and I recall that was about the middle of the range for the committed students at BU (which gave him the best merit/financial package, so he’s headed there). Obviously much higher than the averages we were reading in our 2019 Fiske guide, and indicative of what you get when you go TO. S23 would love to go to NYU but I don’t see him pulling off much more than a 1400. We’re in a very small school system with few kids who go outside of state colleges so he will need to submit a score, I think. I’ll look into U of Ottawa, not too far from us in upstate VT.
She would need to raise her SAT to have a decent chance at Barnard, or have some very specific hook. My D had a 4.5 GPA, 1450 SAT, good ECs, did a Barnard summer program, and was rejected ED.

University of Washington, Seattle? Cool city, beautiful campus, T20 Public Univ. It’s pretty big though. Stats make this a target.
