[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont know if this has been insinuated but I'm pretty sure this is happening now because of the college bribery scandal.  I dont think it's a coincidence.  I think anybody with any common. Sense would agree kids should not be penalized or given advantages for where they live.  The college board desperately wants to manufacture the society that they want.  What a pathetic society we live in. [/quote]

The College Board is responding to the goals colleges have set, whether you agree with those goals or not. Virtually every college wants to have a student body with a broad range of backgrounds. They seek an economically, ethnically, racially and internationally diverse student body because it enhances the learning environment.

It is not manufacturing a society. It is educating students who will thrive in a diverse global society we already live in. I send my kid to intentionally diverse  schools in hopes that they will better understand and appreciate people who come from a different place than they do.

Even if you disagree with me, know that the Colleges are driving this. The CB is just responding to their customers. [/quote]
