Predent.com Stats?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Are these stats accurate? Seems to be off to me.

The very fact that the statistics are based on people who log on to enter them means that it is definitely not a random sample. There is some kind of bias as a result, though it's hard to say what it is. Sometimes predents is more frustrating than clarifying.

👍 predents make up less than 7% of the total applicant pool and since the data is self-reported it has errors. You can make some predispositions using the data, but I wouldnt go as far as saying its the best thing since sliced bread.
 
I would argue that they are most likely over-stated. I would think people are likely to post inflated scores on their predents site than understate. Even then, those with good scores are more likely to post their numbers than someone with bad scores. I could be wrong though lol.
