Let's find more ways to shove mediocre students into highly competitive colleges. Surely it will work this time and they won't blow their brains out due to the stress.
Obviously the teenager with parents who make a combined 150k+ a year is gonna have a better education than the kid who grew up eating ice sandwiches. That's common fucking knowledge, but the SATs really do not need to include this. For one thing, the tests themselves are not difficult at all. Not only that, but there is a reason that universities require a personal essay be submitted with grades and test scores. If you get average results but have some extenuating circumstances (general poverty, parental abandonment/death, etc) and can write a decent essay about it then your odds of getting into a good university are pretty high.
Exactly. This does not address the root problem at all. It will most likely result in some students getting into demanding colleges only for them to struggle with their education there.
No this is a real problem. Dum dums get into college via affirmative action and then go into crippling debt with no degree because they suck. Since AA only GETS you in, you will undoubtedly will be near the bottom of the class.
You dumbass pea brain tard with room temperature IQ really needs this to be answered?
THE FUCKING RICH CRACKER CAN GET IN JUST FINE BECAUSE THEY'RE RICH IN THE FIRST PLACEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, THEY WON'T FUCKING STRUGGLE LIKE OTHER BELOW AVERAGE POOR MINORITY BECAUSE THEY CAN JUST BUY A FUCKING 180+ IQ CHINESE LABOR WITH THEIR FUCKING MONEY FOR EVERY ASSIGNMENT. HOLY SHIT.
YOU TRYING TO GO, "OH YOU THINK THIS ONE IS MORE WORTHY THAN THAT ONE?" DOESN'T REALLY MATTER BECAUSE BOTH FUCKING SUCKS, BUT ONLY 1 WILL STRUGGLES AND END UP AS A DEAD FUCKING RAT WITH NO DEGREE AND NO MONEY AT THE END
And yes the rich mayo can graduate just fine even with low GPA, they get to say that they graduate from top ivy league, and then they will just inherit their parent's business. THAT'S HOW THIS WORKS FOR THE RICH.
I literally did analytics on graduation rate and pre college factors like gpa and act scores are HUGE predictors of whether or not a student will graduate on time or graduate at all. I didnāt have race variables but still.
Lol that would dox me but essentially the university I studied has a āwholisticā admission policy where they will admit students who have under the minimum ACT score needed for admission if they are minorities or other shit and people who had the min act score or 1-2 points higher (a bucket) graduated 54% of the time and people below (another bucket) graduated like 23% of the time. Not to say the graduation rate in general was fucking piss poor lol.
Go look up graduation rates for state universities. They are all terrible. Big schools like you get out what you put in. And a lot of people put literally nothing in lol.
Then stop the white kids from bribing their way in. The thing you are rightfully complaining about is completely different from padding poor kids' SAT scores.
But the reason they get a good education is they're more likely to use it properly. A hoodrat or Kentucky white trash isn't gonna do anything with a Harvard education lol
you don't believe that somebody who manages to dodge drugs and poverty to the point where they get into one of the best schools in the world don't have the drive to do well? what happened to the American Dream??
Maybe you could direct her to a meetup group for older women of some sort. The good news is that Portland is pretty safe unless you actively try and get involved with the less savory elements
A better solution would be to address how shit education is before tertiary level studies, especially for calculus, the senior courses of which were originally intended for ages 12-14.
Based on the metrics in the article, it should in theory be color blind. They have no explicitly race-based categories, although things like English being a second language or having a single parent may end up skewing toward certain demographics. The poverty stuff should be color blind though.
Thatās how I feel. Iām from a redneck ass poor rural southern school and Iād fucking ace the adversity section. Wokecels would not be happy. I feel like they hate acknowledging disadvantaged whites.
My school/town was:
ā¢high crime
ā¢low income (median household of $19,000)
ā¢76% free lunch
ā¢2 AP classes offered (less than 5% of students passed them)
Only the upper middle class wokecels who work as """"journalists"""" or bankers don't care about white failures like yourself. People actually into helping poorcels also care about the mayoid race, no matter its inherent inferiority to other races.
Wokecels at my elite university were confused AF that poor white people exist. I think itās cause honestly most wokecels are mayo foids from rich suburbs.
I care about the drama. What is life without the emotions?
Thatās why I support communism. Not because I think it is economically better or because it achieves any kind of equality, but because I think relatively rich western people have become complacent and comfortable and weak. They have never really starved or thirsted for anything.
I support communism because I think people need to learn the absolute depths of human suffering and misery, and in doing so, become strong again.
I mean look at Russians. Sure, people may call them stupid, but never weak.
I bet you are a basic bitch who works as a financial advisor at your local bank branch and not a chad private advisor for high income clients at a half decent place like BNY or Credit Suisse. You know what, you and your basic bitch ETF beeps disgust me, get the fuck out of my sub.
Why didn't your parents just get a better job? If i had a shitty job i would ask my family to connect me with a better one. It doesn't even need to be a fancy job, something like financial analysts for private wealth clients or international money management at your local financial center (Merryl Lynch, Wells Fargo, your personal choice) would be fine, it's your fault for not knocking on doors to be honest.
I'm a minority and I am sick and tired of this crap. I never qualify for scholarships because my hardworking family work overtime and/or two jobs to have a household income of over 100k.
Stupid policies like these do not take that into account.
How is a rich black kid going to benefit from something that is based on income, school quality, and family situation? They live in fancy neighborhoods, go to good schools, and often have parents that stay together.
That's not how that works. Individual colleges may take race into account in admissions, but that doesn't mean that the SAT takes race into account (it doesn't).
What im saying is all colleges take the SAT into account, and demographic info is a component of that, regardless of the diversity policies the school has
I like how this comes on the heels of many colleges considering dropping the SAT from admissions bc of how worthless it is. Any student with braincells who puts in effort gets a good score, and the variance on the test is like 100 points (so if you retook the next day without additional studying, your score could be +-100 fucking points), plus it's predictive value is tiny. This is just a way for collegeboard to make their test relevant without having to fix the test itself. Now if a college doesn't include their bullshit SAT, they will be labeled anti-diversity or some shit. Meanwhile, the only person this will benefit is Collegeboard. Based af.
See the Coleman Report for why this is even more stupid
Itās gonna be funny when wokecels get called out for have a low disadvantage scale.
Tbh I think this could be quite useful for research purposes, and as much as it sounds stupid, at least it allows universities to actually assess disadvantage instead of assuming white kids are privileged and black kids arenāt. They can actually see the details of an individuals.
Itās not like it changes your raw score, it just gives a standardized adversity assessment.
Imagine being asian and having parents who work their asses off to live in a good neighborhood and school only to have mayos cuck them out with an adversity score. Then cuck them further by allowing international asians in those universities despite them not knowing a single world of english because they all cheated their way through their exams.
The SATS are about how smart a person is at the moment. It's kinda dumb to have an affirmative action thing implemented into it, seeing as it will lead to people not taking poor peeps SAT scores seriously.
The college board is a ānonprofitā making over a billion dollars had a mission of providing a test to level the field to all students as they enter college. This adversity score changes that mission. The president of the college board is also the father of common core and makes more than $1.5 million a year to curve the scores based on what he feels helps out students who have not had opportunities without considering those that have simply busted their ass to score well throughout high school and the sat.
More schools are not requiring the sat.
I say we boycott the sat test and opt the ACT.
SAT no longer serve students fairly. The entire sat market will suffer and which parents are supporting that?

1 typinginmybed 2019-05-16
Basically.
I'm a minority and I am sick and tired of this crap. I never qualify for scholarships because my hardworking family work overtime and/or two jobs to have a household income of over 100k.
Stupid policies like these do not take that into account.
1 AlveolarPressure 2019-05-16
How is a rich black kid going to benefit from something that is based on income, school quality, and family situation? They live in fancy neighborhoods, go to good schools, and often have parents that stay together.
1 Seattle_Bussy_Lmao 2019-05-16
Right, once you turn 26 it doesnāt matter how much your parents make. Youāre just another nigga with no money at that point.
1 AlveolarPressure 2019-05-16
I'm saying that rich black kids can't really abuse this SAT affirmative action thing because it doesn't have race as a metric.
1 Seattle_Bussy_Lmao 2019-05-16
I donāt know what an SAT affirmative action thing is but Iām telling you from experience that if you check the right box you get free money.

1 ReubenTheDoorHolder_ 2019-05-16
Because the SAT already takes race into account
1 AlveolarPressure 2019-05-16
No it doesn't. That's why morons bitch about it being "racist" all the time.
1 ReubenTheDoorHolder_ 2019-05-16
Yeah and your score coupled with your demographic info is what determines admission
1 AlveolarPressure 2019-05-16
That's not how that works. Individual colleges may take race into account in admissions, but that doesn't mean that the SAT takes race into account (it doesn't).
1 ReubenTheDoorHolder_ 2019-05-16
What im saying is all colleges take the SAT into account, and demographic info is a component of that, regardless of the diversity policies the school has
1 AlveolarPressure 2019-05-16
The SAT asks for demographics info for their own metrics. They publish score breakdowns by race and gender on their website.
1 ReubenTheDoorHolder_ 2019-05-16
Is that info provided to the schools with the scores as well?
1 AlveolarPressure 2019-05-16
It would be redudant since the schools ask for that info and even more detailed info themselves
1 artemis_m_oswald 2019-05-16
I like how this comes on the heels of many colleges considering dropping the SAT from admissions bc of how worthless it is. Any student with braincells who puts in effort gets a good score, and the variance on the test is like 100 points (so if you retook the next day without additional studying, your score could be +-100 fucking points), plus it's predictive value is tiny. This is just a way for collegeboard to make their test relevant without having to fix the test itself. Now if a college doesn't include their bullshit SAT, they will be labeled anti-diversity or some shit. Meanwhile, the only person this will benefit is Collegeboard. Based af.
See the Coleman Report for why this is even more stupid
1 brinkworthspoon 2019-05-16
Assuming that the ACT doesn't do this this, is just going to make all the rich kids take the ACT instead and the SAT will be for poorfags only.
1 ImReallyNotADramaAlt 2019-05-16
The ACT is way easier anyway. The whole āscienceā portion of the test is basically āhey can you read a graph? Heres some pointsā
1 rdashdrama 2019-05-16
If parents will pay $1,000,000 to increase their odds, I wouldnāt put getting a divorce so they can claim single-parent household past then either.
1 rsurfingmodssuck 2019-05-16
First thing i thought of...what about the ACT?
1 Tzar-Romulus 2019-05-16
Hopefully this'll make colleges not give a shit about College Board anymore.
1 rdashdrama 2019-05-16
Itās gonna be funny when wokecels get called out for have a low disadvantage scale.
Tbh I think this could be quite useful for research purposes, and as much as it sounds stupid, at least it allows universities to actually assess disadvantage instead of assuming white kids are privileged and black kids arenāt. They can actually see the details of an individuals.
Itās not like it changes your raw score, it just gives a standardized adversity assessment.
1 big_papa_stiffy 2019-05-16
loool if you really want to patronise minorities thats how you do it
dont worry you got 35% on this test but your being black score is through the roof youre virtually wesley snipes
1 dramacide_ 2019-05-16
Imagine being asian and having parents who work their asses off to live in a good neighborhood and school only to have mayos cuck them out with an adversity score. Then cuck them further by allowing international asians in those universities despite them not knowing a single world of english because they all cheated their way through their exams.
1 rsurfingmodssuck 2019-05-16
How can parents everwhere game this option....find the mailing address of the poorest relative and use that? Go full victomhood status on your essay.
1 caliberoverreaching 2019-05-16
The SATS are about how smart a person is at the moment. It's kinda dumb to have an affirmative action thing implemented into it, seeing as it will lead to people not taking poor peeps SAT scores seriously.

The college board is a ānonprofitā making over a billion dollars had a mission of providing a test to level the field to all students as they enter college. This adversity score changes that mission. The president of the college board is also the father of common core and makes more than $1.5 million a year to curve the scores based on what he feels helps out students who have not had opportunities without considering those that have simply busted their ass to score well throughout high school and the sat.
More schools are not requiring the sat.
I say we boycott the sat test and opt the ACT.
SAT no longer serve students fairly. The entire sat market will suffer and which parents are supporting that?
