out of curiosity, with regards to rising GMAT scores, does that really reflect that 'our student are even more capable'? The scores supposedly correspond to a percentage of the test taking population one scored higher than, right? So, how is it that in 2005-2010, the reported avg HBS score was a 710, and now it is much higher? Because this goes for all the top 5 (if not top 10 or 20). If a 720 then corresponded to doing better than 96% of the test taking population, where did all these other top 4% of test takers world wide come from in the last 10 years?
