Nonsense and bigoted.
Definitely not worded the best, but the PP has a point.
In 2023, Asian students achieved the highest average SAT score of 1219.
Asian students' average score was 318 points higher than the average SAT score of Black American Indian/Alaska Native students, which was 901.

Was the test recentered??
1400 wasn't good enough for unhooked kids at T10 schools 12 years ago either.
with TO, 1530 plus is where you need to be

No, its pressure from the top - the private boarding schools in the NE which produce kids scoring near 1600s and the trickle down effect from that. Also with more applicants, it pushes the benchmark scores up.
