[quote=Anonymous]How quickly people forget one of the advantages of the SATs was that it allowed colleges to look beyond the elite prep schools whose academics were easily understood to the thousands of unremarkable public high schools across the nation. A high SAT score allowed colleges to see the diamond in the rough languishing in small town or lower income high schools because there was no other way to easily evaluate the standard of academics at those schools to see if the student was capable of handling the college workloads. Solid As at a small town high school doesn't always mean much. But a 1400 SAT coming out of a small town high school could say a lot. Anyway, we all know the real reason the the colleges made the SATs optional. And with any changes, there are winners and losers. We'll see if this lasts. [/quote]
