[quote=Anonymous] "MIT's admissions staff knows full well that family income predicts SAT scores twice as strongly as it predicts high school grades. The most effective way to admit a more socioeconomically diverse class is to put more emphasis on high school grades and less on test scores. The real reason MIT is reinstating the SAT is because it really likes admitting students who score very high on the SAT! Before the pandemic, almost every student MIT admitted had a 780 or above on the math section of the SAT. Those super-high test scores were an important part of MIT's identity, and if MIT were to abandon the SAT for good, it would lose that identity. So, it's no surprise the school has brought back the test requirement. Standardized tests are a core part of who the school is. Other colleges define themselves differently." ^ This https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/09/politics/sat-act-college-admissions-what-matters/index.html [/quote]
