- The ranges are UPenn's own figures for enrolled first-year students who sent scores (Common Data Set 2025-26, section C9). The middle 50% runs from the 25th to the 75th percentile.
- Top 25% means both section scores are at or above the 75th percentile. Bottom 25% means either section is under the 25th percentile. Anything else is inside the middle 50%.
- We copy each number from the college's own document. We never add section scores to make a total or convert ACT to SAT.
- The acceptance rate is admits divided by applicants in section C1 of the Common Data Set 2025-26.
