SAT averages per school

<p>They are listed on the website. CAS average is almost near 1450 (very impressive indeed).</p>

<p>Umm, could you link at least?</p>

<p>Interesting post :)</p>

<p>Data</a> Book, Institutional Research, Administration and Planning, Northwestern University
Overall: 1421
WCAS: 1436
Education: 1427
Journalism: 1403
Music: 1359
Communication: 1398
Engineering: 1427</p>

<p>WCAS all the way!</p>

<p>^yea..for once! :D</p>

<p>***, we're higher than McCormick?</p>

<p>Highest SAT average and we work the least. WIN</p>

<p>I think there's much more variability in WCAS -- there are the super easy majors and some really hard ones, and then for McCormick it's pretty much average work in all, but probably a higher average than WCAS</p>

<p>CR+MATH ? 10 char</p>

<p>atanas_vs,</p>

<p>"average work"? you haven't studied chemE!</p>

<p>KCSly,</p>

<p>it's easy to see why McCormick didn't have the highest score. its CR score is the culprit and i suspect that's because the engineering school tends to have more foreigners. i think if only the native speakers are considered, McCormick probably has the highest score.</p>

<p>I know a ton of foreign students, and their English skills are superior to many native speakers I know. I also reject your assertion that McCormick necesarily has more internationals.</p>

shows internationals have lower SAT range. this range is still pretty high and you are right that their english skills are superior to many native speakers, but not those at NU.</p>

<p>i don't have NU data to back up my claim that mccormick has more internationals. but here's stanford's data: <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/dept/icenter/GenInfo/99_00.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.stanford.edu/dept/icenter/GenInfo/99_00.pdf&lt;/a> the problem is the numbers include graduate students also. anyway, my speculation was largely based on my experience. when i was at NU, almost everyone from hong kong majored in some kind of engineering. some majored in economics and one majored in RTF. i can't speak for students from other countries but in my year, four malaysian students majored in chemE. that's a huge proportion given no more than 40 chemEs graduate in any given year. they were financed by the malaysian government. i knew quite a few thai students were in the same situation as well. it's no surprise to me that the southeast asian countries want to invest their talents in engineering/technology so they can compete better in the world. their 710-800 range in SAT math (probably even higher now) is a strong sign that many of them might be engineering students.</p>
