[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. I assume this is directed at first gen students, but still seems pretty nuts. [/quote] Honestly that’s not a fair asssumption. Plenty of first gen kids do well in school and also kill it on standardized tests. And the ones who do wouldn’t need the remedial algebra refresher. But Harvard and everyone else rode the test optional wave and grabbed that opportunity to pretend that just because you graduated in top five of your high school meant you were ready to soar at Harvard. Standardized tests are basically the only measure we have to compare the field across the board. If you kill it on the SAT, you’ve aced algebra. Full stop. If they don’t know how you did on the standardized test, then it’s a crapshoot and they find out only after you’re on campus that you can’t cut it. [/quote]
