[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When does this go into affect?  My junior had a great score in August and went for a second pass this month because he didn’t take the essay, and one college wants it.  Scores released tomorrow.  Last SAT subject test next month, and he’s done.

TJ kid from an affluent neighborhood. I’m hoping he gets in under the wire. I’m wondering if getting scores in as soon as they are released in June would keep him from getting a number attached. Because it’s going to be tiny.

But, he has ADHD at TJ, which of course this doesn’t factor in. [/quote]

They have already shared these scores with a test group of 50 schools, they will extend it to a further 150 schools this Fall and then it will be widely available.

It is in response to the Harvard case
"Several college admissions officers said they worry the Supreme Court may disallow race-based affirmative action. If that happens, the value of the tool would rise, they said. “The purpose is to get to race without using race,” said Anthony Carnevale, director of Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce. Mr. Carnevale formerly worked for the College Board and oversaw the Strivers program."[/quote]
