<p>Was just poking around the Princeton Review website to read about the new SAT b/c I really dont feel like tackling the mound of homework I have .but anyways came across the new rankings from their book 300 something best colleges </p>
<p>I think they reversed the middle two digits in the average SAT. The 1231 should probably read 1321</p>
<p>i didn't notice that---where did you read that?? i think that is def. the case...whitman's SAT scores are def. higher than 1231.</p>
<p>I didn't read it. It just didn't seem possible that the average SAT would be about that of the total of the two 25 percentiles unless there were some people with SATs in the 400s to skew the bell curve.</p>
<p>I doubt kids would get 400s....it doesn't seem as if whitman accepts that many jocks. They don't have a football team, or a hockey team, and those are the kids that usually score in the 400s.</p>
<p>Yes, it is nearly mathematically impossible. That's why there has to be a typo.</p>
<p>you should tell princeton review---thats a good find....and i'm sure whitman would be happy that you found that</p>
<p>but back to my orig. post---aren't you happy to see whitman cover such a spectrum of categories!! I sure was!</p>
<p>I was also pleased but not suprised.</p>
<p>The ACT average corresponds to the SAT average...Are they both wrong?</p>
<p>"For the class entering fall 2004, the median combined SAT score was 1340 (680V, 660M), with the middle 50% scoring from 1260-1440 (640-730V, 620-710M). The median ACT was a 30 with a middle 50% range of 27-32."</p>

<p>Our competitive athletic department is almost nonexistant, most of our extensive sports program is intermural, and as far as I know, we don't have any athletic scholarships. So no, Whitman doesn't accept jocks with low test scores, they have no reason to do so.</p>
