[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think 99% of schools will opt out of receiving that data point. Too much risk.

I also think what this guy said about recruiting from different high schools will become a big deal. [/quote]

I’m happy that colleges might focus more on outreach to diverse high-schools. I teach at a high school that is majority low and middle income. Many students are not incredibly high performing but some students are amazing. They have the whole package - [b]smart[/b], hardworking, nice, gritty and resilient. They do very well with limited resources and guidance. I try to help them as much as I can but they mostly get shut out of the top 30 colleges. They always need a lot of financial aid on top of everything else.[b] They also don’t excel at the SAT. [/b]More active outreach from colleges and universities would be helpful. I live in an upscale neighborhood and the differences in resources available to high income kids with educated parents takes my breath away [/quote]

If they don't excel at the SAT then they're not all that smart.

[b]And no, rich parents can't just test prep their kids into excelling at the SAT.[/b][/quote]

My kid's math score went up 200 points with tutoring...[/quote]
