[quote=Anonymous]OP the College Board already goes through a fairly rigorous screening process for accommodations (i.e. not all kids who get accommodations in school are granted them by the College Board for SAT and AP exams). What Singer pulled off would be pretty difficult to pull off and therefore probably pretty rare. What isn't rare, OP, is the use of legal ways to advantage people of means such as Early Decision, which usually gives applicants a higher acceptance rate. Families have to be wealthy enough to accept whatever financial aid package, if any, the university offers in a binding contract with an Early Decision acceptance (which can amount to paying tens of thousands or more over the course of 4 years than they might otherwise pay if they have the opportunity to compare costs across colleges accepting their kid). This is effective affirmative action for the rich. This amounts to a huge percentage of applicants across the country. [/quote]
