<p>Since more than a week has passed since admission results were announced, my son, nickknack, and I have compiled some statistics on the 128 posters who pledged to report their results before they were known in an attempt to get a true sample of CC participants by filtereing out possibly extra-motivated post-result admits.</p>
<p>Methodology</p>
<ul>
<li> We have collected posters’ data from across CC, not just SCEA or Yale threads, in order to get as complete a picture as possible.</li>
<li> Where ACT scores only are reported, we have converted the score to an SAT equivalent according to the recently update ACT-SAT concordance tables. Where both scores are reported, we have used the higher score. Posters that do not report scores are excluded from the SAT statistics.</li>
<li> We have been attentive to collecting AP score data but not so with IB scores. Any AP score reported we included, even if the poster indicated s/he was participating in IB. This should be kept in mind when evaluating the average AP load, as IB students also doing advanced work do not have all or even any of their efforts reflected in the results. Again, posters that do not report scores are excluded from the AP statistics.</li>
<li> Unfortunately 18 pledgers have not yet shared their results. I have, therefore, arbitrarily considered any pledger who has reported SAT scores (or equivalent) of 2200 or greater to be “Deferred” and any who has either not reported scores or reported scores under 2200 to be “Denied”. This has probably led to the over-reporting of the “Denied” totals.</li>
</ul>
