new stats for NU

<p>Class of 2011 stats (brief)</p>

<p>SAT Range for ENROLLED: 1350-1520</p>

<p>Math: 680-770
Verbal: 670-750
Acceptance Rate: 26</p>

<p>Where did you find this?
Wow, 26% acceptance rate. Hmm, I thought it was higher than that.</p>

<p>Ah, here it is: </p>

<p>2011</a> leads NU's classes - Campus</p>

<p>27% acceptance rate
1423 Average SAT</p>

<p>That seems to be new. I also wonder about the source but the range looks correct.</p>

<p>and btw, the range is interesting because it fits very closely with the admitted range that is located on the international admissions webpage </p>

<p>SAT Reasoning Test Critical Reading 690-770
SAT Reasoning Test Math 700-790
ACT 31-34</p>

<p>Note how for enrolled, the 25th and 75th percentiles are both exactly 40 points lower than is the case for the admitted range.</p>

<p>With the exception of the REALLY TOP 10 schools (Harvard, Princeton, Yale...) the ENROLLED SAT scores will be less than the ADMITTED scores. A number of students admitted to Northwestern who also get into Harvard will go to Harvard and their HIGH SAT scores do not become part of the ENROLLED range. Same with those admitted to excellent schools not ranked as highly as Northwestern who also get into Northwestern, etc.</p>
