Ivy League University Ditches Standardized Testing, Will Judge an Applicant's 'Background' and 'Voice'
If you’ve lost sleep over whether you’ll get into Columbia University due to your test scores, rest easy — those no longer matter.
Online Wednesday, the school made a major announcement: It’s permanently dropping standardized testing requirements for undergraduates. Congradu-lations.
People are complex; a single factor can’t define them:
The holistic and contextual application review process for Columbia College and The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science is rooted in the belief that students are dynamic, multi-faceted individuals who cannot be defined by any single factor.
Nuance is necessary. Maybe someone bombed their SAT, but they have a university-worthy identity:
Our review is purposeful and nuanced — respecting varied backgrounds, voices and experiences — in order to best determine an applicant’s suitability for admission and ability to thrive in our curriculum and our community, and to advance access to our educational opportunities.
Be your bold and beautiful self:

Make sure you doctor is a white male. You know he had to be the cream of the crop to jump over the minorities.

Counterfeiting is an usual act. The more widespread it is, the more it devalues the thing being counterfeited.
It is somewhat counterintuitive, but it is certainly true.
