<p>" lower Ivies have much more in common with HYPSM than with Michigan or UCB."</p>
<p>Slipper, my point was not whether your lower ivies have more in common with HYP or with podunk U. I could care less. I DO care when someone thinks that his private east coast school is somehow superior to one of our great public universities. How else to interpret your statement "The student body is clearly close to HYPS, Michigan is a couple levels away"? As I said before, you obviously don't understand how to do VALID comparisons. </p>
<p>Here's another way to look at your own statistics above:</p>
<p>Dartmouth enrolled 1075 frosh last year. 75%, or 806, scored 670 or higher on the SAT-V</p>
<p>Michigan enrolled 5553 frosh last year. 25%, or 1388, scored 690 or higher on the SAT-V. </p>
<p>Bonus question: Which class is smarter?</p>
