<p>It is interesting in this discussion to compare the 25% SAT of two highly regarded LACs: Pomona College and Amherst College.</p>
<p>Amhert’s 25% is 1310, whereas Pomona’s is 1390. Their 75% are idential very close, 1560 for Pomona and 1540 for Amherst.</p>
<p>What can we infer from this large divergence at the 25%? </p>
<p>Who are these Amherst lower statted applicants? I honestly don’t know but I am going to proposed that Amherst takes more lower statted athletes, legacy, and social hardship applicants than does Pomona. The only thing I know for sure is that Pomona does not field a GOOD football team, and Amherst does 
(Pomona is winless this year thus far). Further, Pomona’s football team is composed of players from both Pomona and Pitzer. I’ll take long odds on a bet that the majority are from Pitzer. I’ll further bet that the football coach at Pomona gets ZERO, ZILCH, BUPKIS, NADA in the way of back-door admits… instead getting them in through Pitzer.</p>
