[quote=Anonymous]Interesting, from an admissions dean and college counselor at The Chadwick School in California:

"As I watch the celebrations of test-optional or test-blind, I am at the same time delighted for some of my students, yet also terrified that the advantage independent school students already have in essay reviews with counselors and lengthy references from teachers who know them well and can write brilliantly supportive recommendations, will be hugely amplified in the process without standardized markers (with the possible exception of AP results -- which opens another long tale of access and availability. Wealthy kids will, once again, come out ahead. Look even at the grade inflation curves at independent schools, according to NAIS data. Rather shocking that the average grades and grade point averages nationally at independent schools are just a hair below A. That's happening at upscale public schools, as well. Not at most public schools. We have become Lake Wobegon."
