[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Test Optional admissions. Trend will reverse as standardized tests come back. [/quote] This. Also the college board revamping the scoring to significantly favor woman[b] by weighting the language portion double compared to the math portion.[/b] This was done explicity to create this result, to increase the number of women in collge above the number of men in college. [/quote] What does this mean exactly?[/quote] The college board changed scoring a while back from weighing math and verbal equally, to weighing verbal as 2/3 of the SAT score. This was done to explicity close the gender gap in SAT scores, ie elevate young women over young men. Prior to this, when math and verbal were weighted 50/50, young men significantly overperformed young women on the SAT. (As a group, not necessarily individually) This change would have affected young men applying to college over the past decade or so.[/quote]
