[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't see potential issues with this? It's all sunshine and roses? Students whose true SES level is below average for their high school/zip code will have a score that does not reflect their reality. And what of need blind admission? Is it a joke? Colleges would love to find Pell eligible applicants. Why engage in this inaccurate "score" charade and use the info from the financial aid docs?[/quote] The potential issues you’ve stated aren’t actual issues. The college board is merely providing a context for the SAT score. It is not meant to identify the student’s SES but rather the environment he lives and goes to school in. You cannot identify pell eligible applicants using this method either. I love it. The index will merely highlight that student coming from a rough neighborhood in a low-performing school district who scores well on the SAT. It will hopefully give that student’s application a second pass. [/quote]
