Urban ferals get an extra 150 points because they can’t read the SAT instructions
America is basically now a very FAILED idea. We have essentially lost the REAL Cold War. Sure,USA won militarily and economically but Marxism infiltrated our society at every foundational level behind the scenes.
Liberal Arts Colleges, excepting Hillsdale College and Liberty University, are pretty much worthless.
Students are subjected to socialist/communist indoctrination and are not taught critical analysist. Their degrees are not worth the paper they are printed on!
Engineering Schools are currently still sources for a valid education, but the left is trying to dilute them as well.
Asian students scored an average of 100 points higher than white students, 277 points higher than black students and 233 points higher than Hispanic students in 2018 results. The children of wealthy and college-educated parents outperformed their classmates.
(fixed it)
I agree but what we have now is fascism, corporate globalists calling the shots and the leftists doing their thing too. There is very little friction between them. It is us ‘normals’ caught in the middle that is the problem.
:: Just score kid based on their zip code. Really. ::
Why not? Car Insurance industry does it
This should be challenged in court—immediately.
Followed by, is the score bound by zero on the low end?
We're living in Idiocracy, have been for decades.
So sorry. Imitating the Governor of Virginia would require you to sell your soul and become a Democrat, a price a bit too high just to get the press off your back.
The GRE, more was demanding (no bogus percentiles), and I got a decent raw score.
How do minorities and others of the "less advantaged" ever know what their true potential is if they never need to achieve it?
They should just call it 'diversity' score and be done with it. Do they really think they are fooling anyone? The only ones getting fooled are the less than stellar students they are 'helping'.
Imagine going through your college years, and beyond, with "Diversity Kid!" stamped on your forehead.
SAT is RACIST!
One of the alphabet networks did a cloying story about needing more black male doctors as positive role models. An incoming medical student actually admitted on TV he had to take the entrance exam FOUR times (the MCAT, I assume) to finally get admitted to Morehouse School of Medicine.
And patients are supposed to believe that he is equivalent to someone who aces college and the MCAT? No thanks. If he makes it through med school, it’ll be with constant pampering, lower standards, and plenty of free tutoring. Yet he’ll still get the M.D. after his name.
Systematic oppression in the name of fairness. Based on where you live, we assume you have privilege. And it is a simple score that counts against you like a FICO score; the institutions simply exclude you if you don’t fit their criteria.
No matter that your parents were divorced and unemployed but still live in the same house. System downgrades you if you live with grandma in good school district because Mom is in prison and Dad is missing (a kid down the street from us).
bum down the road, lived on welfare from one or more “parents” and they dealt crack and meth and didn’t get caught, thereby increasing their “score adjustment factor” by ADDING to the terrible “crime ridden” suffering environment they “grew up” in, disadvantaged as such.
Crack whores— preferential SAT scores. Societal handicapping.
So, will they decide horse races by “adjusting” the background of the horse.
This is beyond crazy— and watch what it will do to the college “intelligence” ratings. This is so these same colleges can accept ever more fedgov money for the “downtrodden” subgroups, any one of whom could be another “shadow” student..... like the “genius” obamaumao (whose academic record is still sealed, but who is said to be— SAID to be brilliant. NOT!)
Exactly— track sports competitors who are “advantaged” by training, background and.... ability, are required to have ankle weights attached to them— in order to make the race more “fair” for lesser athletes.
Vonnegut, a socialist, swerved into a socialist/utopian inequity and classic tactic of the left===
Equality of OUTCOME determined by the State! Equal stupidity, and equal MISERY.
Just think of College having only 66% of real valid opening slots.
33% percent of students are designed to flunk out.
Simple. Plan ahead.
