SAT Scores Should Stick to Scholarship
SAT Scores Should Stick to Scholarship
The decision by the College Board to add an index of
cultural (?) adversity to its reports on applicants for college admission
dilutes the usefulness of the SAT as an ingredient in the evaluation of
the desirability of individual
prospective members of a college’s student body
The best institutions will already include factors such as race, income
levels, neighborhood and ethnic diversity, etc. in their selection
process. Those that are best at
achieving enviable learning environments will ideally be rewarded with a
respected reputation as well as supportive alumni. The College Board should not act as the
arbiter of how a college constructs its student body. Assuming this role will make it vulnerable
to being gamed by more manipulators than just test answer changers.
