Показать описание
The College Board plans to introduce an “adversity score” that will accompany an applicant’s SAT score in order to give college-admissions officers greater insight into how the applicant’s social and economic privilege may have contributed to their academic performance.

The adversity score, which will be made available to colleges but not the students themselves, will reflect 15 different factors including the crime rate and average income level in a student’s neighborhood, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

The new metric is currently being used by 50 colleges and will likely expand to 150 schools this fall.

“There are a number of amazing students who may have scored less [on the SAT] but have accomplished more,” said David Coleman, chief executive of the College Board. “We can’t sit on our hands and ignore the disparities of wealth reflected in the SAT.”

This is *quite literally* the definition of "bigotry of low expectations"

SAT test should measure one thing: "Ability to succeed in school". Adding metrics to benefit ANYONE is a terrible idea.

So growing up in a low crime area will negatively affect your ability to possibly get admitted to college? We have reached a new low.

Yeah let's reward the less qualified by changing the bar for what they need to succeed. I am sure it's going to work out in the end.

That’s it! Just give only poor people degrees, and then only based on how poor they are. Then they graduate and become your doctor!

This is why almost all good colleges and universities require multiple hand written essays about your life.
Better than an arbitrary government point sytem THAT NO STUDENT HAS ACCESS TO SEE.

College board wants their power back and be relevant. Monopoly on minds.

This will turn out just like the subprime mortgage collapse. Put people in houses/schools they don't qualify for then the floor drops out.
