[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is another reason why we need the “adversity score” on the SAT.[/quote] This makes it worse for my child. Try being a white student on major financial aid in a college prep school. [b]All the richies and URM's get the good colleges.[/b] No one wants smart white kids that need aid. Colleges need money or numbers to check off their list. If you aren't one, you are not getting in. [/quote] Just passing through, as a "URM" who lives in a fairly affluent, majority minority neighborhood and has young kids nowhere near high school age. Wouldn't my kids be penalized by the adversity score? It would capture that we live in a well-off neighborhood with low crime, but it wouldn't capture any adversity due to skin color routinely experienced by many POC. [/quote]
