“A test-only admissions policy would raise the median SAT score at the top 200 colleges in the country from 1250 to 1320, and more than half of the students currently enrolled would be replaced.

The experiment showed that a test-only admissions policy would increase the share of white students at top colleges from 66% to 75%, and the combined share of black and Latino students would decrease from 19% to 11%. The share of Asian students would fall slightly, from 11% to 10%.“

That’s white privilege at its finest... white people with their smarts and work habits...

SAT? More like a tool of the oppressing white patriarchy. I'd rather have a holistic admissions process that focused on the struggles of the applicant - including but not limited to single parent households, felony convictions, likelihood to vote Democrat, etc.

Is your kid is a part of the disenfranchised 9% they probably belong at trade school anyway. Nothing wrong with being a plumber.

Are you arguing that a single test score should be the sole criterion for college admissions? If so, I disagree.

No, they should probably consider high school GPA as well, but with a huge grain of salt.

Being a good tradesman is probably more mentally rigorous than studying sociology.

The lowest score by an Asian was 1400.

Probably students who are kept out of better colleges solely on account of their race. But that's just a guess.

Having a well rounded class is important, but we've gone too far in that direction.

Don't let your kid be a fringe student. Build a complete profile. Problem solved.

ETA - as the study shows, more than half the students displaced by scores only are white. Reverse discrimination and quotas are abhorrent, but rarely is Jr being passed over because of it.
