[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH is not an “extreme outlier”. He is a typical very successful black adult from difficult early circumstances. Many students at HBCUs fit his profile. Just because you are not aware of them means nothing to me. Just opening your shallow eyes to things you clearly know little about. White/Asian people put so much focus on the SAT. It really is useless, but continue to do you.[/quote]

It's good that he did well in HS and the GPA is indicative of success in college.  But a terrible SAT score is not something to wave away or be proud of.  Something was missed in his education.  Maybe he knows what it is, since you don't seem to know.[/quote]

What is this trash. He went to med school, he passed the boards, he is a doctor, he shouldn't spend even one moment feeling ashamed of his SAT score, which was clearly NOT and indicator of anything.

Is it useful to have a high SAT score? Yes. Is it teachable? Yes! Are there high IQ people who will effortlessly do well and then totally rebel against systems? Yes, many, bc those two things go together. Will there be people who end up being extremely successful with low SAT scores? Yes, many! [/quote]
