[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally agree. Although it seems rough, I think countries that base it all on one exam have a system that makes more sense. Set a lower threshold for kids from below a certain income level to ensure parity.[/quote] Except in those countries cheating is rampant and the wealthy get to skip the test entirely. Don't fool yourself that anyone has really figured it out.[/quote] But it is much much worse than it was 15 or 20 years ago. There was a semblance of merit and college decisions made sense. It was never surprising who got into Harvard. Now it feels completely random and out of control. Our universities are shooting themselves in the foot. Their prestige and credibility are suffering.[/quote] How? Harvard still has the class of freshman they want. They just get to pick from double the number of applicants [/quote]
