[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't agree with it. [b] I don't think there is a way to quantify experience.[/b]  That said what tests do Google or the tech companies use to test people's creativity and critical thinking.  Are those biased or IQ based?  Why don't we include an IQ score also for reference. If the future is data and statistics so we can all be reduced to a band of numbers.[/quote]

It's not quantifying experience, its quantifying the external environments (excluding home environment) that kids come from.  I've read the underlying research and it has shown good results in terms of boosting the numbers of low-SES students at selective schools. All this metric does is provide colleges with better and more reliable data they can use when looking holistically at applications.

The Twitter feed for the researcher at U Michigan who spearheaded this has better information than some of the news articles posted.
