[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand this. Aren't admissions more competitive than ever? Aren't these the superhuman students who aced the hardest classes, scored extremely highly on SATs, had very time-consuming ECs....? We are told nobody has a chance at these schools, and yet, those who are actually there, can't read a book? How is this possible.[/quote] SAT optional yields these kinds of students.[/quote] Is there any evidence that this is true, or are you simply assuming based on previously-held beliefs? SAT, after all, rewards the skill of reading/skimming short passages quickly, not to do the long, deeper, and often slower mental processes involved with reading books. [/quote]
