[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not so sure that this hurts the DC metro. Colleges are already making the trade-off. They could certainly get students with higher SAT scores who are better able to compete on day one if they went with more private/high SES suburban kids. Yet, they have decided to seek students who offer a different perspective and may have had fewer opportunities. Perhaps the better information causes them to shift the balance, but I would guess that the big issue out here is that there are too many smart kids. DC kids in WV would have more choices.[/quote] I’m not sure the focus should be on whether it “hurts the DC metro.” Rather, the question should be whether it helps kids who live in the still-awful parts of DC and others areas, where they lack the opportunities and safety and security of, say, some generic white or Asian kid in Vienna.[/quote]
