Another gain from more rankings is decreasing the vast incentives for colleges to selectively report, or even misreport, student data. For example, many colleges, such as Northeastern University and Boston University, exclude the verbal SAT scores of their international students—traditionally low??€”but report their math scores—traditionally high. In another case, Monmouth University in West Long Branch, N.J., once overstated its SAT scores by more than 200 points. In 1993, even Harvard was found to have overstated its SAT scores by 15 points.
