[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It makes it more difficult for rich families to get in, an equalizer for legacy, athletes, and donors. They too have to achieve certain test scores now to be accepted.[/quote] I don't think that is quite true. I paid $5000 for a private tutor to help DS improve his score. It wouldn't have improved if he didn't have some basic level of intelligence, but he's in a better position than someone whose parents could not hire a tutor and had his same basic level of intelligence. The test is still slanted towards the rich, which is unfortunate.[/quote] Affluent students who can afford private tutoring/prep do have some advantage for standardized tests, but the money, time, and parental availability necessary to become a recruitable athlete or rack up impressive sounding extracurriculars or internships for “holistic review” favors the wealthy even more.
