Most selective colleges based on SATs

<p>Coldwind,
Is the 25th percentile a better index of how deep a school has to dig into their applicant pool? Why do you think the 25th percentile is more important?</p>

<p>Classes are more likely to be taught at that level & it is a better indicator of the strength of the studentbody, as well as of the applicant pool.
P.S. Can't wait to read your results regarding the most competitive schools in Wyoming!</p>

<p>is this combination of math & english without writing? </p>

<p>for me, my SAT score of those two sections exceed most of these prestigious school, but with the addition of my writing score, it is below their average. </p>

<p>should i still apply to them?</p>

<p>Your writing score doesn't matter that much. You should apply.</p>

<p>These are 25th and 75th percentile Critcal Reading and Math. Writing is excluded.</p>

<p>Most schools downplay the Writing section so I would apply to reaches, matches, safeties based on CR + Math.</p>

<p>Yhis is a good thread for determining reaches, matches, safeties. If your CR + math is in the middle 50% between the 25th and 75th percentiles then the school can be considered a match at least in terms of selectivity. Then you have to consider other factors suc as the availability of your major, location, size, and so on.</p>
