<p>Princeton and Brown present their SAT score ranges differently and can’t be exactly compared. Princeton gives acceptance rates by the total score on the 2400 scale, and Brown just tells acceptance on the Reading 800 scale and the Math 800 scale. Comparing apples and oranges. Plenty of people score an 800 on one section and don’t hit 2300 total. I’ll bet Princeton’s acceptance rate for 800 Math scorers is lower than Brown’s, for instance. Reading too. But there is no way of knowing from the way they present their data.
I wouldn’t infer a different emphasis on testing between the schools based on the data presented.</p>
