[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, when applying to UMD a candidate can send the SAT score (if that's good enough) or not. The acceptance criteria don't take into consideration that score at all, right? If that's the case, how do they decide who's academically fit? High School grades? [/quote]

Maybe middle school.

They know what they need to see and have realized that kids who prep for a 4 hour test and do well are not the kids who do well over the course of 4 years.  Add in a good essay and extra curriculars and suddenly the standardized tests don't mean much.

Look up information about Wake Forest and why they don't use it.  [/quote]

Yup, useless skill. No relevance to GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, bar exam, medical boards, CPA exams, etc.

Those will go away too.  Maybe not a bar exam or other licensing tests but lsat, gmat etc are already not required at some schools.  [/quote]
As someone who is familiar with the process, I would be shocked if the MCAT went away.  Too much $$$ lining pockets. If you want an example of gross money grubbing, read about med school admissions. Barf. [/quote]
