Claremont McKenna falsifies SAT scores of admitted students
At the beginning of 2012, several major news outlets reported that the former Dean of Admissions at elite liberal arts college Claremont McKenna had been inflating the school’s reported SAT scores (those of admitted students, which are reported to agencies that rank colleges like U.S. News). While these inflated scores typically only differed by 10-20 points from the actual ones, they still helped improve the school’s overall academic image both internally and externally.
