(First, I misspoke. It’s not 50% of 33-35 admitted, that’s % of class.)
Well, I wonder what those kids really know. And averages serve a limited purpose.
Look at the Brown admission facts web page. 56% of the class scored 33+. Again, if you look at the 75th percentile, percent enrolled, (via CDS/2015-16,) it’s 34. In fact, the 25th %ile is 31. That doesn’t seem to put a 32 at the top of the mid-range.
You know the old expression: close only counts in horseshoes.
