Why do brokers look at the middle score as opposed to the highest one on your credit reports?

Also if you're applying for a loan with a co-borrower you should know that we use the lower of the two borrowers middle scores when determining what credit score to give the loan. So if your scores are 680, 700, and 710 we score you a 700. If you're applying with your spouse who's scores are 610, 630 and 640 the spouse's score would be 630 and 630 would be the score assigned to the loan.
