[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if you believe in standardized testing, you'd have to be a fool to think that SAT scores should determine who gets admitted to highly selective colleges.  They may be useful for disqualifying applicants, but in terms of sorting out/rank ordering the smartest or even the best prepared kids, they're not very helpful at all. [/quote]

"For the millionth time, this response will address the same issue so pay attention:

Asian Americans do not argue for test scores or gpas to trump over other factors. In fact, colleges can use all the objective and [b]subjective criteria [/b]they want to use. That is fine and dandy. 
[/quote]
Stop repeating the same nonsense over and over again. You don't write so well as to be worth quoting. If colleges want use 'subjective' criteria to screen out unlikable study drones of any race... they will.[/quote]

Same response is necessary since the same statement is repeated over and over again in the first place. Blame the posters who post the same idiotic statement that SAT should not be the sole criterion for college admission when Asians are not saying that.[/quote]

Interestingly enough, the Hispanic admissions counselor said that Weseleyan - and many other schools - filter SAT scores through race. Again, in what world is that acceptable?[/quote]
