<p>Letters are en route! I have a kinda dumb question…when they say middle 50% ACT was 31-33 does that mean that 25% had lower than 31 and higher than 33?</p>
<p>I’ve never gotten that before, and as someone with a 31, it’d be great to know!</p>
<p>It means exactly that. The middle range of scores was 31-33, so 25% had above 33 and 25% had below 33. Get excited everyone!</p>
<p>Has anyone gotten their letters yet?!</p>
<p>Nope. I’m thinking earliest Monday :(. I am trying to prepare for rejection lol but I am just so excited idt I can. Anyone else notice this thread is nowhere near as active as last year? Do you think many people even applied EDII? Obviously CC isn’t a reflection of ALL applicants but I thought it was weird that there was no “we understand many of you will receive bad news this year” comment on the blog. But then again, I could just be looking for ways to convince myself I’m getting in…</p>
<p>YEAH! basically it means that the 25th percentile is a 31 and the 75th percentile is a 33. </p>
<p>I wonder when the letters will get to california!? anyone have any ideas?</p>
<p>didn’t get mine today. i’m thinking either monday or tuesday. preparing for rejection though.</p>
