<p>It occurred to me that schools publish their 25/75 stats for each of the three sections of the SAT, and not for all three combined. Is that correct? If so, I think that information is limited in its usefulness; I would think it would be better for you to look at the total scores. Is there any rule of thumb to go from the published 75% stats to the overall 75% stat for a given school?</p>
<p>See the Common Data Set, section C.</p>
<p>You use the the info you can get. Not sure why it matters to have some specific conversion to total score because that would just be adding something else that applicants would obsess over and falsely believe is a figure cut in stone for admission when it really is nothing more than a somewhat reliable guideline.</p>
<p>The scores provided don’t tell you what will be the ranges for applying freshman. You cannot assume the class applying now will have the same ranges or scores as the prior one. In fact, there is a significant inaccuracy built into the ranges. What is provided are the ranges for the freshman that actually enroll, not the much higher number actually admitted. For any particular college, particularly any not in the top ten in rankings, it is likely there can be a significant number of those admitted who have very high scores but don’t enroll with the probable effect that for many colleges the ranges you see are lower than it would be if the college reported ranges for admitted rather than enrolled applicants.</p>
