MIT [b]DECIDED[/b][u][i] that tests were valuable predictors of success. That’s why their test optional experiment ended a couple of years ago.

Fixed it for you! [/quote]

Read MIT's announcement on the change to make SATs/ACTs mandatory again. They found a strong correlation between scores and success. Same as the huge University of California study. [/quote]

You completely misstate the findings of the UC study. Gaslighting people isn’t helpful. [/quote]
T[b]he UC study strongly recommended retaining the SAT as a very good predictor for student success[/b]. That recommendation was ignored. MIT also clearly explained their rationale. Not sure what the gaslighting comment refers to? I guess the truth hurts.[/quote]

IT did recommend that.  It was not what the Regents wanted to hear.  They went TO anyhow.  This has been much discussed in The Chronicle of HIgher Education[/quote]
