You need to understand the difference between the average and the median. The average can be low the median might not. Also, scoring 320+ does not guarantee admission if other aspects of your application are not well balanced.

The median could be higher than the average naturally, but the average being lower means more people with scores around 310-315 generally got accepted, my comment meant that i thought a score less than 320 was generally not accepted at all. I am not talking about statistical theory, the GREs floor is 260; meaning if the average is low it isn't because of a few very low outliers, its because that's just where a good percent of students stand.

Exactly. You eventually got the point. Nobody was arguing that the median can’t be higher than the mean(never said that).

The point was that a low GRE average implies a meaningful number of lower-scoring admits, and given holistic admissions, there’s a good chance some of those lower scores are offset by factors like underrepresentation or profile diversity.
