[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That really stinks. Sorry to hear that. They are being punished for being wealthy. But the education they received will make it ok in the long run. Plus they can still get into a prestigious graduate school[/quote]

I agree. The private school kids in this area have very high SAT and ACT scores and colleges are not even taking that into account.[b] I think there will be backlash when they start to see a difference in the kind of work the kids they are admitting are tuning in.[/b] There is a distinct difference in writing and other skills. [/quote] Top colleges already realizing this fact…listen to podcast with Yale and Dartmouth admissions deans on this very subject. The exams do add value!

This is why MIT went back to test required/

And why several southern state school systems require -- TN, FL, GA.

Auburn is "test preferred."

So the tide is turning.

Just look at the common data set for schools and see the low rate of test scores submitted. A joke. And not all these students have "test anxiety" or other impairment factors.  It is a scam and the schools enable it and make it impossible for a student to submit because of the artificially high test range. [/quote]
