How do people feel about colleges ditching admissions tests (SATs, ACT)?

didnt make it

I don’t care. Each school can admit students based on whichever factors they like. The whole system would probably be a lot better if there were a variety of approaches used by different schools, instead of all of them trying to use the same approach.

I’m all for colleges finding more equitable means to assess academic merit

the Supreme Court will probably rule race-conscious admissions illegal later this year. this lets certain top schools keep doing it without getting sued

100% on board. They don’t matter. Anecdotal, but instead of AP classes and standardized tests I took the CHSPE exam when I was 16. Graduated early and enrolled at the local community college. Took interesting classes, got college credit without the AP “college workload” lie, and never touched the SAT or ACT.

if you pay for enough tutors you can manufacture a strong score - so i can understand it. with that being said, these tests are still the ~best~ way to screen for academic preparedness. there has to be a happy medium.
