Wonder how they'll define adversity.

It is hard for me to support it as a "donut hole" parent, but I do recognize that this is appropriate direction given how prep classes routinely up SAT scores by 200-300 points.

Thoughts?[/quote]

Lol donut hole families are not remotely “adverse” when it comes to the SAT.  I believe they are attempting to measure true adversity.

I think this is an excellent idea. [/quote]

OP herr:
Yea thanks, I get that my child will be losing out in the new arrangement.  I think this makes SAT2's more important.[/quote]

SAT2's seem to be falling from favor.  Barely any schools even look at them anymore.

You could try ACT.  Different company and maybe not doing this.[/quote]

Barely any schools. Why do people write things that are factually untrue? You can’t be that stupid. [/quote]

I'm not stupid.  Not that many schools look at them.  Unless you are going top 10, you really don't need them anymore.  VERY few require or even recommend them (Georgetown, MIT, Cal Tech are a few that require and most of the IVy's recommend.  Several SLACs that we visited said they will not even look at it, some "consider" it of it helps you).[/quote]
