[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want the US to align itself with the rest of the world and only consider academics. Test scores should be a lot more central to the applications than they are now.

Nobody’s stopping you from moving to South Korea or India for their superior high stakes test based education system.

Unless the PP is a citizen of those countries, there is actually something stopping them from moving to those countries.

But, even so, more and more universities here are moving to test required, for a reason.[/quote]

Yeah, it’s really hard to sort through 60,000 identical applications.

“My kid is good at the test therefore it’s the best measure of talent”, sure thing boss.

NYC suburban public high, every kid in the 1570-1600 band accepted to at least one T30.  No exception.
Most accepted by Brown (test required) and/or Cornell.  The rest went to other ivy pluses (Penn Chicago) and SWAP (Williams Amherst).  The lowest acceptance by NYU/Michigan/UVA, including kids in 85-90/100 grade range (bottom 25 percentile).[/quote]
