[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s interesting that when MIT encountered this issue, they dumped test optional admissions. Harvard is doubling down. It’s clearly Harvard’s call to focus on equity more than academic excellence, but let’s not pretend it isn’t a choice. [/quote] +1 But then Harvard is still holding onto the antiquated system of legacies. IMO, they are more like a liberal arts college.[/quote] Legacy is another predictive variable for academic performance in college. If you have two otherwise identical students the legacy student is more likely to succeed at college. They can all pull the parents transcripts to get more data on whether the kid is likely to do well at the school or not.[/quote]
