[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A huge blow to the DEI crowd. [/quote]

And with legacy beginning to be pulled as well at many colleges...hopefully, we can enter a 'merit-based' admissions era.[/quote]

I feel like people aren’t reading the article.

Dartmouth is basically saying we will take lots of kids with SAT scores in the 1300s and 1400s coming from disadvantaged schools.

I don’t see how that will help the 1580 Asian kid from TJ.  Those parents will be crying louder than ever.[/quote]

That is not at all what the article said.[/quote]

Ok, what did it say...here is a direct quote:

“We’re looking for the kids who are excelling in their environment. [b]We know society is unequal[/b],” Beilock said. “Kids that are excelling in their environment, we think, are a good bet to excel at Dartmouth and out in the world.” [b]The admissions office will judge an applicant’s environment partly by comparing his or her test score with the score distribution at the applicant’s high schools, Coffin said. In some cases, even an SAT score well below 1,400 can help an application.[/b][/quote]
