Explaining the Data Sheet above:
Data Sources
Avg. GPA: Very few schools listed GPA on their profile. Almost all this data comes from PrepScholar via Google a school’s name followed by “GPA.” So, do take this with a grain of salt. I included it to provide some level of context. I wish colleges did publish GPA info on their profile.
Test Scores: Almost all come from the school’s profile found by googling the school’s name followed by “Profile.” In cases that I couldn't find this info on their website, I used the info from IPEDS.
