<p>What are the most important factors for determining whether a college is a good fit?
In my opinion:</p>
<h1>1 Does it offer your major?</h1>
<h1>2 Are your SATs a good match for the college? If your SAT are about the 25th percentile, then the college is a reach. If your SATs are about the 75th percentile, then the college is a safety.</h1>
<p>Any special requests for rankings by SAT score? For particular subsets of colleges?</p>

<p>Anybody have any requests? Other ways to look at colleges based on SATs?</p>
<p>Is there a way to compare instate vs oos for the big popular state universities like Chapel Hill, U Mich, or the U of CA schools?</p>
<p>interestinnn</p>
<p>That is a great question but the information is not reported to the US Dept of Education so I don't have access to it. Try calling the admissions offices or emailing them. They might have an answer for you.</p>
<p>There are a couple of new threads about best colleges by state so I thought I’d bring up this thread again which lists the most selective schools in each state by SAT.</p>
<p>When will new numbers come out? Also are these numbers accepted students or enrolled students? (or does that really not change?)</p>
<p>These numbers don’t change much from year to year. They are for enrolled students. They come from the US Department of Education, IPEDS, NCES and there is a one year delay. New numbers are probably available by now, since this is an old thread, but I do not plan to update these lists. They will be pretty accurate for many years to come.</p>
<p>regarding #107, if you have occasion to do this again, I suggest posting data that’s actually pertinent to admissions to the technical colleges at these institutions, not data for the universities as a whole. The differences may be material, therefore posting off-point aggregates can cause drawing of misleading conclusions. For instance Cornell’s engineering college range was actually 1360-1520 at that time. I can only presume that there are other instances with similar, or perhaps greater, levels of discrepancy.</p>
<p>I would imagine that the lower the % engineers is, the more potential error there is in using the univesity aggregates.</p>
<p>Better not to post stuff than to post stuff that is knowingly wrong and misleading to the exercise at hand. IMO.</p>
<p>Could you list best schools by CR score? Is that possible? Maybe LSATs and Law schools? </p>
<p>Thank you, by the way, what you’ve done already is great.</p>
<p>monydad-
Fair enough. It is a bit misleading (post #107). The only engineering school for which I had SATs was Cornell’s. Other Engineering Schools don’t seem to post the SATs specifically for engineering. It would be useful if they did.</p>
