maybe have you considered the uc decision was not made for the benefit of a bunch of kids in palo alto
tech ppl love to say “essays & ECs are less fair than the sat” and provide literally zero evidence lol not everyone defaults to writing abt some fake volunteer summer their parents paid for to pad their resumes i know this is hard to conceptualize
I agree that there's some solipsism to these takes. The SAT is super unfair and tilted towards people who went to fancy schools where they learned all those vocab words. And also: would you argue intuitively that essays are or even *could be* more fair?
https://twitter.com/KTmBoyle/status/1263610743716409346 … I thought the thread around this was good.
I grew up poor & did not have time (work) or access to ECs. I would not have gotten into great college if I had to compete in an EC arms race. Besides EC, you are left with network, donation, GPA, SAT. GPA incidentally also involves tests & benefits from tutors or private school.
Maybe less “fair” for admittance into Berkeley, the mis-sorted individuals will have to endure the indignities of (checks notes) UCSC. Terrible, terrible, amirite?
“it’s an even playing field because everyone is so competitive” is another good one
yes, but the ones who do default to that are the ones that get in. And that's the point of the essay.
