[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, but now that A LOT more kids are earning A's aren't colleges going to have no choice but to give more emphasis to other factors - most likely test scores? I mean in the age of retesting and allowing late work, an A doesn't really say as much about a student as it used to. [/quote] It honestly seems like the trend is going in the other direction. A lot of schools are eliminating standardized tests as part of their admissions because minority groups score lower on them, and they claim that they're biased. If you eliminate standardized tests and drastically increase the number of good grades you can "fix" the achievement gap. [/quote]
