I thought you girls and boys might be interested in this. Pardon me for the ping if you’re not.

I didn’t notice Hillsdale in that list.

#8 Harvey Mudd College. They started a “diversity” program a few years ago, which has undoubtedly lowered their score. Fortunately, daughter had already graduated before all that started.

I think that liberal arts colleges are pretty much useless these days, and not worth the “investment.”

The score is an average of the 25th and 75th percentiles for the SAT scores of the school's admitted students, so it's not exactly what one would think.
I did a little study once and found out that universities with virtually the same 'average SAT' may have wildly different 25th percentiles.
I'm not surprised about Cal Tech. Check this graphic showing how selective Cal Tech is. From there, you can compare it against similar graphics for Stanford and other schools.

Notre Dame is 11th? Ahead of Duke/Tufts/Swarthmore/Williams? Something seems incorrect there.

208 schools have SAT averages of 1200 or more. That’s pretty good. It means there are plenty of opportunities for qualified students to get an education not held back by the unqualified.
