[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges have been preparing for this eventuality by getting rid of standardized test scores, which has been a hurdle for certain minority groups. In 5-10 years, when they still can’t achieve “equity” in admissions, colleges will stop using GPA’s as a measure of qualification and look only at life experience. And then eventually I think all college admission will be by lottery. [/quote] Standardized testing in America has racist origins. Reality not an appropriate measuring stick. Plus scores are pretty much driven by HHI. Super scoring makes standardized testing watered down. [/quote] Yeah because $5000+/year travel club sport participation, academic extracurriculars (that don’t exist at most low SES high schools) and “research” arranged at dad’s lab are such inclusive & meritocratic measures[/quote]
