<p>I don’t know if there is an answer to your question. Every year, every application cycle starts anew. You can certainly look at the data sets and see where entering freshman fell the previous year in terms of gpa/standardized test scores, but that tells you very little about the kids themselves. This is why a well planned list is important with a variety of schools one is willing to attend. Finally “what norm” are you talking about – is it 25-75 range? If so, that in itself implies that some are below and some are above which means there are definitely attributes of those students (above and below the 25-75 range) that the college wants or needs.</p>
