Middle 50% Explained

Middle 50% means half of the students we admitted scored within the listed range. It also means 25% of the students we admitted had scores below the range and 25% had scores above.

Example

If the middle 50% range is X-Y, 50% of the students we admitted scored in that range, 25% scored below X and 25% scored above Y.

What if my numbers are outside the middle 50% range?

Having numbers below or above the range doesn't guarantee you will be admitted or denied as many factors contribute to a student's decision.
