SAT test results will now come with "adversity score" to help non-whites

[Text Drivers are Killers]

Why can't we just say what everybody knows.? Blacks are massively inferior mentally to whites and asians.

may 16 2019 A new "adversity score" assigned by the College Board on the SAT exam will reportedly reflect students' family income, environment and educational differences in an effort to level the playing field in the highly competitive college admissions process. The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that 50 schools used the new indicator as part of a beta test last year and the College Board plans to bring more than 150 schools into the fold this fall.

The College Board is a New York-based non-profit that is in charge of overseeing the SAT. A dialogue about wealth and privilege in educational institutions exploded this year in wake of the college admissions scandal, in which 33 parents were charged with paying huge sums of money to have their children cheat on the SAT and be admitted into top colleges under the false pretenses of being student athletes.

This new "adversity score" number is calculated by assessing 15 factors that can better help admissions officers determine an individual student's social and economic background, the Journal reported. These factors are first divided into three categories: neighborhood environment, family environment and high school environment.

Huh?

You are the best argument there is against such assistance. You prove your own case, dumb as you are.

The SAT should not even ask the race of its test-takers since that encourages whites and asians to call themselves black in order to get the benefit of the affirmative action scoring used for blacks. The reported black/white gap is huge but the actual gap is much much larger.

I'd be interested in seeing these 15 factors.
This doesn't sound like a bad idea if properly done without racial bias.
I personally knew kids that got into medical school that were totally unqualified because of who their fathers were.
I also knew a kid that got into Tulane then LSU med school who was raised by a single mother and whose father was a convicted rapist yet that was never taken into account. He had to compete against other qualified applicants which was a smaller pool than it should've been because of the spots reserved for legacies. He's white, BTW.

the SCORES should not be weighted (scores are scores), ADMISSIONS can take in such factors in consideration

That's what Affirmative Action says. Time to end it.

So you say. Anecdotal evidence is worthless.

Why would having a single mother and a rapist dad entitle anyone to preferential treatment?

What's with the chicken?
Anyways it sucks that kids get in to professional schools because of who their fathers are.
I have to say though... a friend of mine's daughter recently was rejected from LSU dental school with a perfect 4.0 avg. because her DAT score wasn't good enough. And he went to LSU.
They've always been that way. Legacy means nothing.

HAHAHA. The board notes that all you libs ever have is namecalling. It must really suck to be a hater.

Overcame adversity. Shows character. Why would having a father who's a doctor entitle one to preferential treatment?
I personally knew complete fuck ups that got in to med school because of their father.

So you say. I say it's irrelevant.

Why would having a father who's a doctor entitle one to preferential treatment?

I don't recall saying that it should. The policy of allowing legacies isn't exclusive to medical schools, is it?

I personally knew complete fuck ups that got in to med school because of their father.

So you say. Anecdotal tales are without merit.

Indeed.
