"We are reinstating our SAT/ACT requirement for future admissions cycles"[/quote]

This protects the kids as much as it does admissions fairness.

What many parents here fail to understand is that any kid with good access to appropriate math classes, textbooks and internet service who needs to prep much to get over a 750 on the math SATs is probably toast in any halfway rigorous STEM program, and roadkill at MIT. [/quote]

Exactly. My very high stat kid did not get into MIT this year and there is a part of me that is glad. Even though he got a 780 on the Math SAT his first try  at age 15 and A's in DE Multivariable Calc and Linear Algebra AND planned to minor in math (major in CS). Even with all that, I was a little worried that MIT might be too hard/stressful.

These TO people gaming their way in are crazy.  Roadkill is right.[/quote]

Wrong.  A TO admit will be in the same class as your "high stats" kid and will thrive. [/quote]
