[quote=Anonymous]This (actually, the predecessor of kids having someone else write the essay for them) is what it has befuddled me that universities never leaned into the SAT essay option. Even before AI it was impossible to assess writing ability in *any* of the college essays-- the common app essays or, really, even the very university-specific ones. Because the most savvy students had them heavily edited, to be generous. Why not bring back the SAT essay?? I used to help with graduate admissions in my own university and the standardized tests for graduate students had a similar essay option. I (we) ignored the standardized scoring and simply read the essay, which was printed on the score report. So universities could do the same thing. Of course, students would still prep (quite possibly using AI to prep) but at least we would see something more authentic than what universities get now (and actually, what they've been getting for years).[/quote]
