[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 1300 where the HS average is 950 vs a 1500 where the HS average is 1150... the 1500 kid is more special? How about a 1400 where the HS average is 950? Is the 1400 more special? At what point are the numbers just part of the application and not the whole story?[/quote] The point behind standardized tests is that they measure the same thing the same way in all circumstances. It doesn't have to be the only factor in admissions (like it is in the rest of the world) but a 1500 wealthy privileged white heterosexual male is likely to outperform a 1400 poor oppressed black lesbian female. It measures an objective thing thing that does not require context. [/quote]
