<p>I agree entirely that a mean is just that, and that obviously 50% of people get in with lower scores. BUT, the chances are proportionately less; and to make for it, one needs more to compensate. I have no idea if I have enough but the odds are not great. If Gtown accepts 21% overall and my SAT is lower than the mean, then my chances are less than 20%, maybe 15%. That sucks.</p>
