Average SAT Scores In PQs 2020 Undergraduate Ranking by: Marc Ethier on December 20, 2019 | 0 Comments Comments 3,918 Views December 20, 2019Which came first: the chicken or the egg? Whartons excellence appealing to top talent, or top talent making The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania excellent?In last years PoetsQuants ranking  of the top undergraduate business schools in the United States, only one school — Washington University in St. Louis Olin Business School — had an average SAT score over 1500. Washington Olins 1510 was 16 points higher than the next school in the ranking, Southern Methodist Universitys Cox School of Business, while Wharton was fourth at 1486. This year, however, Wharton — the No. 1-ranked school for the third year in a row —   has vaulted 19 points to the top spot on the SAT list with an average score of 1505; meanwhile Olin has slipped to 1500, where it is joined by two other schools, SMU Cox and the  Un iversity of Michigans Ross School of Business, in a three-way tie.A 1500 score is in the 99th percentile of the nationwide average, according to the College Board, which administers the SAT, whereas a score of 1400 is in the 97th percentile. The Cox School, ranked No. 18 overall, is the only  one  of the four leading SAT scorers outside the top 10 in the new ranking. Among the next six schools on the SAT list (see page 2 for the complete list) — all of which are within sight of that 99th percentile — only two are outside the overall top 10: Emory Universitys Goizueta Business School, the No. 16 school overall that reported an average SAT score of 1470, good for ninth on the list; and UC-Berkeleys Haas School of Business, No. 83 in PQs ranking because of major data omissions but which nonetheless boasts an average SAT of 1490, seventh-best among all 97 ranked schools.WHARTON IS MORE THAN JUST A BUSINESS SCHOOLDiane Robertson. Wharton photoThe top schools stay the to p schools because they are selective about who they admit — but also because they have impressive results with the talented students they graduate.  Diane Robertson, vice dean and director of Wharton’s undergraduate program, says the best students with the highest test scores are drawn to Wharton for what it offers.â€Å"Wharton is more than just a business school, Robertson tells PQ. Our flexible undergraduate program combines the study of business and arts and sciences, with students taking at least 30% of their classes at other schools at Penn. Students can follow their individual interests while gaining knowledge of leading business practices that can be applied in almost any career.â€Å"The school is constantly engaging with faculty and alumni to determine what a business school should be considering or acting on in emerging areas such as alternative investments, fintech, and AI. We are teaching students who will work in firms and even industries that do not exist today. We need to prepare them to navigate an ever-changing business landscape.†BY THE NUMBERS  Of the 97 schools ranked this year by PoetsQuants for Undergrads, 21 reported average SAT scores of 1400 or higher, up from 19 (out of 88 schools) last year. In our 2017 ranking, 20 schools out of 82 eclipsed the 1400 threshold. The average score for those 21 schools: 1455.To finish in the 90th percentile, applicants must score at least a 1290. More than half (50) of the 97 schools reported at least a 1290 this year, a slightly lower percentage than last year (49 of 88 schools). The lowest reported score of ranked schools is No. 79 Northern Illinois College of Business 1035, which is in the 65th percentile nationwide.The average SAT score among all ranked schools is 1307. The average for the top 10 ranked schools is 1472. Among those 10 schools, the lowest average is at No. 9 UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School, which reported a 1388.The only ranked school not to provide PQ wi th an average SAT score is No. 22 Wake Forest, which accepts the test scores from applicants but does not require them.STATE OF THE SAT: HEALTHY GROWINGIn 2016, SAT went from 2400-point test to 1600-point test. Long before then, school officials, students, and observers all were proclaiming the impending death of the test. It was imminently to be replaced by the ACT; some schools would do away with standardized tests altogether. But a funny thing happened on the way to the SAT’s funeral: The corpse came back to life. In 2018, 2.1 million SAT test takers took the new SAT, a 25% increase over the previous year. In 2019 that number ticked upward again, to 2.2 million, according to the College Board.Expanded fee waivers are one reason more people are taking the test; a reported 21% used a waiver to take the test in 2018. Another big reason is SAT School Day, which continues to grow rapidly in U.S. secondary schools. According to the College Board, about 460,000 students in the c lass of 2021 (or 27% of SAT test takers in that class) took the SAT on a School Day, while almost 780,000 students in the class of 2022 — 36% — took the that day. The numbers from 2019 test-takers are likely to continue the upward trend. In all,  over 3.7 million students in more than 3,000 districts and 9,000 schools have participated in a SAT School Day.Heightened use of the SAT is just one sign of the overall health of undergraduate business education, Jennifer LaRusso-Leung, a master consultant with The MBA Exchange and former associate director of admissions at Columbia Business School, told PoetsQuants for Undergrads last year. Whats driving the growth? A healthy economy, she said.â€Å"Interest among high school students and, more importantly, their parents in undergraduate business degrees continues to drive growth in the volume of applications targeting those programs,† LaRusso-Leung said. â€Å"Candidly, there’s no end in sight for this growt h. There are two additional factors that encourage more applicants to seek BBA degrees. First, the U.S. economy remains robust, so major companies have an increased appetite for recruiting and hiring fresh grads from top business schools.â€Å"Second, the simultaneous softening of application volume for MBA degrees — for even some of the highest-ranked MBA programs — motivates leading business schools that offer both BBA and MBA programs to tap into the strong demand by attracting and enrolling more of the former. Simply stated, that’s where the action is.†See the next page for a complete table of the SAT scores and acceptance rates at the 97 schools ranked by PoetsQuants for Undergrads this year.DONT MISS WHARTON AGAIN TOPS PQS BEST UNDERGRADUATE B-SCHOOLS OF 2020 and LAST YEARS STORY ON THE TOP SAT AVERAGES AT THE LEADING B-SCHOOLS Page 1 of 212 »

Research Community Policing Information Directed Patrol - 1100 Words

Community Policing: Information Directed Patrol, Field Interrogation, Problem Oriented Policing (Term Paper Sample) Content: Community PolicingNameGrade Course:Tutors Name:Date:Community PolicingPatrolPolice service to the community has been tested through a research conducted in the Kansas City. The research on patrol; a police service reveal that the citizens did not even realize any difference in the level of patrol. It further shows that a decline or heightening of the level of patrol never affected the lives of the residents, robberies, vandalism crimes, commercial burglaries, automated theft among many others (Boydstun Micheal, 1975). According to the research this crimes are only noticed at a highly visible patrol by the police. At the time of patrol the crime rate reported to the police did not differ in any way. That is there was no any notable decline in the rate of crime. The research shows that the citizens lived in crime fear in that the patrols conducted by the police never had significant changes in the rate of crime. Another worrying revelation was that the citizens livi ng in the region had neither satisfaction with the police nor the patrols they conducted. The research shows that the nearly 60% of the time that the police spent patrolling Kansas City was none committed. This means that they spent most of the time waiting to respond to calls and in as much time was spent on activities that were not related to patrol.Response TimeResearch indicate that not everybody who calls for police dispatch require their immediate response that is contrary to what most police department services expect when they get an emergency call that makes them respond by sending a sworn police officer. This is because different community standards vary depending on topography, geography and traffic patterns (Christopher, 1995). Consequently police department have come up with a new strategy of solving this hindrance by establishing an alternative police responses known as Differential Police Response (DPR).Differential Police Response have streamlined police response s ervice by making it effective and efficiency especially in police departments where there is shortage of man power .For instance in America the establishment and development of DPR into police agency was influenced by three research finding, First it was discovered that American citizen required an accurate estimate of police response ,meaning for citizen satisfaction it was necessary for police response to be on time with the citizen expectation.InvestigationsA research study carried out in municipal and county police departments on criminal investigation involved collection of special data, survey, observations and observations that took investigators about 7% of their time while solving an offence (Jan Peter1977).The case study involved members of the public, patrol officers and a routine clerical carrying out their duties in collecting physical evidence in a crime scene so as to give the prosecutor enough information to put a suspect away. Evidence indicated that in most crime scene police do not acquire sufficient evidence to solve a crimeInformation directed patrolResearch shows that in Kansas City, The Directed police patrol was first tested in an effort to increase intelligence in curbing of crimes. Moreover, the officers involved in directed patrols are dedicated to their task and are highly trained in citizen interaction in that they pick the criminals with ease (Whittaker, Gordon, Charles, Peter Robert 1985). The findings shows that directed police patrols are effective measures in curbing crime rates.Field interrogationThe research shows that field interrogations barely resulted to any formal prosecutions that were allayed in court but most of them were conducted in a shady manner in that they could not support a prosecution (Report of The National Advisory Commission On Civil Disorders, 1968). The police have been accused of underplaying the field interrogation practices in that they do not follow the formal guidelines of the exercise. This h as resulted to derailing of the field interrogation core purpose of interrogating suspicious individuals due to the manner in which the patrol officers conduct the practice. The research further shows that the constitutional rights of the interrogated persons have in most cases been belittled. Thus questions the authenticity of the practice. Moreover, even with the heightened level of interrogation organized crimes are still taking place. Thus the field interrogation procedure as per the research needs to be reviewed.Problem oriented policingThe research show that problem-oriented policing supports the techniques of crime analysis to establish the factors that are behind the problems the police are dealing with. Further the research establishes that these techniques if applied it can be an effective method for investigation of crime activities (John William, 1987). The research suggests that SARA model is an effective strategy of solving problem oriented policing. It seeks to estab lish substantial solutions for the causes of the problems.Community policing, beat profilingThe geography of every neighborhood is unique. As per the research the crime and the community perception of crime are highly linked to the geography of that specific region. It also shows that the surrounding regions have different features that relates to crime (David, 1999). In most cases the connection between the geography of an area and the crime are overlooked. However they are very crucial in implementing the watch programs in the neighborhood. The research also revealed that neighborhood programs are one of the effective and extensive measures towards crime prevention in US.Foot patrolThe research show that foot patrol may not be an effective way of reducing crime rate but it can help to reduce fear of crime. Moreover it helps to satisfy the community with the police services in that they live more confortable lives (Police Foundation, 1981). Foot patrol also helps the community to a dopt informal contact with the policing unit. The police also benefit in that they have a wide reservoir in which they can derive information.Broken window theoryThe research show that broken window theory that is based on cracking down the small crimes in an effort to curb the major ones has been effective since it has helped to deter crime rate (James George 1982). The Research further shows that the only weakness in the broken window theory is the racial biasness of the blacks by the police officers.Fear of crimeThe research shows that fear of crime is associated with certain geographical locations. This is in particular the crime hot spots. The research also reveals that foot patrol help to minimize fear of crime among the community. This is because they interact with the police officers (William Murphy, 2012).Hot spot policingThe perspective of hot spot policing is that crimes happen at distinct point but not evenly across landscapes. The research conducted has proved this no tion in that relatively small places where crimes are concentrated are evident (Christopher, 1995). Most of the crimes are generated from such places. The research has also revealed that other areas apart from the distinct relatively places are free of crime. Thus according to the research crime can be effectively controlled if the police focuses on the crime hot spot.Race relationsThe history of race relations in law enforcement has led to belittling of the African Americans and has made most officers in the policing unit to have a notion that they are criminals. Police racial biasness is evident in the police service in that there are very few black cops that are in the service and also those in the service never got any better rank (Geoffrey, 2015). In most cases the reason for the bias are minor reasons that do not hold such as level of education or even possession of state documents. Subcultures of police that perpetrate murder are protected by those in authority. The mentioned articles propose that police service can only be free from the bias if at all the police force is disciplined and committed to their duties. Moreover, the government should take disciplinary actions against the officers involved in murder of innocent lives.Take back a high crime neighborhoodAs per the research police can use strategies that are provided for in the policing to take back a high crime neighborhood. These strategies involve engaging the community and having good interpersonal relations between the police and the community in that they know the neighborhood well (Boydstun, 1975). This would help the community to identify those perpetrating crime in the community and notifying the police. The high crime area should have a police post from which the officers can operate from and help in conducting crackdowns on the criminals. SARA problem oriented strategy should also be implemented in the high crime area to help come up with solutions to the crime problem. Another stra tegy is for the police to identify the crime hot spots where the crimes are organized and target the criminals. Lastly the police can increase surveillance in the neighborhood by conducting field interrogations on the suspicious individuals (William Murphy,2012). Low crime rate can be maintained by engaging the police and the community.Final thoughtsI agree with the idea of field interrogations, hot spot crack down SARA problem oriented strategy and information directed patrols. This is because the three measures enhance policing. I disagree with the idea of foot patrol, biased racial poling and undirected patrol activities. This is because the derail the effectiveness of the policing. Three ideas that are new are fear of crime, SARA problem oriented strategy and information guided patrol.References**Boydstun, John E.
