Greenland population: 56,653 It has a lot of researchers, scienctists, etc. Sample size is too small for it to be included, but no surprise there. |
Ha! Yes I was joking, but I think an IQ score would honestly be more reliable than a paid for SAT score. |
MIT doesn't think like you. |
The more relevant point is that the colleges get to decide what they think is meritorious. And that’s as it should be if we want to continue to have the best higher education system on the planet. |
No just eliminate SATs, SATs are an outdated means of reflecting true aptitude. If you have to pay a company that guarantees inflated scores. Just stop altogether. |
Bermuda, 2022 population of 64,184--down one from 2021's 64,185 (true state--not kidding), came in at #41. No relevance to this thread. Just wanted to talk about Bermuda for a bit. Thanks ! |
They could not tease it out which is why they went back to standardized testing. You should read the long letter they wrote when they reinstated SATs/ACT. The thing they did not mention is that the kids they let in without standardized tests could not keep up with the academics. I know someone there and some of those kids from the Covid years really struggled. |
Rich, white legacies are untouchable. They are the people who got rid of AA and will protect ADLC. Asian Americans were pawns. |
Most legacies who apply to top schools are not admitted. |
You are presuming that blacks make up the majority of the poor qualified students who will apply. The majority of the poor qualified students applying are poor whites and Asian. I believe blacks are the smallest percentage of those in programs like questbridge. |
Of the questbridge finalists who are chosen based on data like test scores? No they are not the smallest percentage, but they are smaller than Asian percentages. https://www.questbridge.org/high-school-students/national-college-match/finalist-profile Colleges may use a different standard, or not use test scores at all, which would likely change those numbers to be more representative of the general population. Please note that the Asian percentage of those QB finalists is lower than their representation at many ivies. Be careful what you wish for. |
Did you check the box? |
If SATs hold so much weight, we need schools to prep students similar to the lucrative prepping agencies. We need equal and affordable, or free, prepping. The profitable prepping groups need to go. |
Why don’t people care that they take into account gender and schools give preference to balance their student body. Gender is a protected class. |
The SAT/ACT no longer holds much weight. |
