[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's fantastic.  Study after study after study has confirmed the high correlation between family income and parental education and SAT and ACT scores.  Generally speaking, high scores were born on third base.  It doesn't make them any smarter.  [/quote]

[b]This will hurt immigrant and low-SES kids who have the smarts to do well on the SAT.[/b]

Exactly!

I am a black immigrant who scored high on the SAT and so did my children.  No more standardized admission testing will negatively impact many immigrants.  Shame on UC!  :evil:  It hurts me to no end to see the culture of low expectations or the dumbing down of black students in this country.  It's like if you are a black student who values education and score high on tests UC will penalized you and regulate a black student to low performing status.  It's Absurd!

Screw them!

If you are black person that scores in the 90th percentile or above on test scores there is zero reason to attend a UC.

One of the private T20 schools will take you and it’s a better deal.

but as a PP stated, other schools are also doing away with SATs.[/quote]
