<p>Their stats for NYU are

SAT Critical Reading: 600 - 700 92%
SAT Math: 610 - 710 92%
SAT Writing: 600 - 700 92%
ACT Composite: 27 - 31 8%
?
So the middle of those scores would be the average NYU student with colleboard stats are a 1310, and 1960 total. I know that's a rough estimate but seriously, the only admitted kids I see with such low stats are GSP?</p>
<p>According to NYUs website:
Standardized Test Scores Public: 67.8%
SAT I Verbal Private: 15.3%
Middle 50%: 640-730 Parochial: 11.2%
SAT I Math International: 5.6%
Middle 50%: 650-740 Home Schooled: 0.1%
ACT<br>
Middle 50%: 28-32 International Students<br>
Enrolling (Expected): 323
Distribution of SAT I Scores Percent of Class: 7.4%
1400-1600: 39.6% Number of Countries<br>
1300-1399: 37.5% Represented: 65
1200-1299: 17.7%<br>
Below 1200: 5.3%</p>
<p>Your analysis is flawed. You can't add together the separate test score ranges for Math and Verbal and get one accurate average score. Because the people in the 790-800 range on one section may or may not have been in that range for the other section too. Someone with a 790 in math could have been sub-650 in Verbal. You can't calculate total scores from ranges. Be careful--keep your logic straight!</p>
<p>Well, that is correct. But the range of scores listed on the website for both math and verbal are higher than the range of scores listed by college board and both are supposed to be the 25th to 75th percentiles, right?</p>
<p>I believe collegeboard is outdated (although someone says they updated it this year, so I'm not sure). I think the problem may arise because I don't think NYU includes GSP in its average SAT score. NYU does release the individual school gpa, thats more important since average SAT score is going to be different for Stern than Musical Theatre(I'm not ranking on them or anything, but I know a quite a few who have 900-1000's as SAT scores which you wouldn't find in other schools), and when you have to average those scores together, you get a very meaningless number. Average SAT score of Stern currently is 1441, I'm not sure about CAS, but its usually about 50 points lower.</p>
<p>Collegeboard did update this year. But they are all wrong. Not only NYU, Emory and Johns Hopkins also got wrong numbers. They are new, but all wrong.</p>
<p>the numbers collegeboard has are the ones from the common data set of 2006 - 2007 (i checked this morning)
however i believe this year it became even more hard so next year when the results come out, the numbers are going to be much higher.</p>
<p>I think the admission officer from the JHU thread said a long time ago, to not trust anything from collegeboard because they have wrong information.</p>
