[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remember the days when higher education was about higher education, not remedial action for failed parenting, local schools and communities. [b]So how is this to be used?[/b] Extra admission points for adversity? How does that equate to education? Social promotion for the under-qualified into schools they don’t do well in?[/quote] [quote]Joy St John, Dean of Admission and Financial Aid at Wellesley College closed by saying, “the score itself does not have meaning unless you give it context…start talking about [how] this student is outperforming her environment. And our job is to find talent, not to find specifically achievement because achievement is a reflection of resources available.”[/quote] https://www.collegeboard.org/membership/all-access/counseling-admissions-financial-aid-academic/more-numbers-context-matters-peek [/quote]
