People can slide through Harvard without actually being smart. That's much more difficult at a school like MIT, or alot of other schools. I think more schools will be returning to test required.

Maybe. The digital SAT will be shorter in length and easier to take. Yes, there will still be an advantage to those who have more money, but overall, you'll likely see a lot more 1500s and "SAT inflation." Then what? Either way, the SAT is losing its "high stakes" relevance.

You are speaking of score inflation, but don't you think colleges are smart enough to look at the percentage distribution of scores? And if only bright and/or well-prepared kids take the test 1500 will become the new 70% putting it all into perspective (exaggerated speaking).

What does he mean that SAT is free? And during school?

Too late for DS

How many times does this have to be explained to you: standardized admissions tests do not measure intelligence.

And, you need much more than intelligence to do well in college.

Agree, but it is easier to weed out applications if test required

The link didn't work for me but this one does:https://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/we-are-reinstating-our-sat-act-requirement-for-future-admissions-cycles/Yes, it makes hiring so much easier. We have to thoroughly test applicants ourselves from more racist, cultural fit type colleges in IT as they have just been good at taking nine classes and dropping all but the gut classes. The objective result also helps us find often overlooked, underrepresented candidates from poorer more disadvantaged areas who put the work in individually. A wonderful reprieve after having to deal with an enormous ego and corresponding finger-pointing to deal with the "shock" of how weak they really are in spite of their genitalia/skin/daddy/delusion. MIT using data-driven correlation for more fair entry is awesome!

That is great for MIT! Will filter out many students

good

Of course. Common Sense.

Good!
