Very unfair
Instead of focusing on giving people in the ghetto an unfair unearned score, why not WORK TOWARDS making sure the ghetto doesn’t suffer from the shortcomings other places do?
Activists are warped in their priorities.

As if this doesn't open itself up to widespread cheating.
Yeah, um, I grew up in the Projects but don't live there right now.

they literally give you points for just putting your name on the test, they need more points for free?

Asians and Indians (dot) should be the only ones upset over this

ACT is so much better anyway.

You realize that this "adversity score" doesn't actually change the test score right?

An adversity score of 50 is average. Anything above it designates hardship, below it privilege
If nothing else, the middle class kid with an abusive alcoholic father should get a nice chuckle out of being labeled "privileged" and getting points deducted from his score.

Gov't: Bless your heart poor stupid brown person, here are free points because you are inferior to the white kids and we feel bad about that.
