SAT kinda sucks but personal essays, letters of rec, and "well-rounded" extracurriculars are way worse. Too many kids see the "point" of high school as optimizing their college applications.
i don’t know if you understand that the vast vast majority of kids in the state are not thinking abt it this way lmao......i am a product of the bay area rat race but my friends who aren’t didn’t give a shit abt this stuff
yeah but the problem is that if most people aren't in the rat race then they're automatically out of the running for getting into those schools a lot of times. The SAT provides 1 (one) thing that they have to do
your tweet literally says the sat is the one barrier to entry i promise you if a kid isn’t getting good grades — in the context of their school — they weren’t gonna do well at the sat anyways
Yeah I guess I kinda missed the entire point of your tweet 
You have a point that the 'rat race' culture is a secondary concern. However, essays/letters/ECs are also problematic on equality/fairness grounds too, so I still think SAT removal is bad (ignoring covid).
idk i think essays are strictly good, ppl write abt their part time jobs they write abt their families they write abt their thoughts & aspirations. some rich kids try to game it but imo essays were the one thing that filtered out interesting & smart from boring & just academic
I was valedictorian of my shit public high school (Boston suburbs) mostly because I refused to go to private school. I only did the things my parents made me do to pad my resume, and only when I couldn't get out of it...
I got into Harvard probably based on SAT scores. Going there was a mistake and I ended up transferring to a big state school instead. Without the SATs I might have gone to UMass Amherst and honestly I think that would have been both better and cheaper than what I actually did.
