[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found this in 10 second searching:  "Family environment will assess what the median income is of where the student's family is from; whether the student is from a single parent household; the educational level of the parents; and whether English is a second language."

First, that suggests that SAT takers will have to disclose a lot of personal information, which is stupid.  How in the world could the CB know whether that self-reported information is accurate?  Why should anyone trust the CB to have accurate information about the economics of the students' neighborhood or anything else.

This whole thing is ill-conceived and astonishingly arrogant.  [/quote]

It's ironic that actual, verified information is included in the financial aid packet that isn't seen by the admissions office (at need-blind colleges).[/quote]
