Universities are rashly scrapping standardized tests (which have been shown to be unbiased and minimally coachable) in favor of essays (which are class-loaded and typically edited by parents).

  The idea that the LSAT is "minimally coachable" is laughable. That's the extent of my experience with standardized tests, though.

  Removing the SAT from the admissions process caters to dumb elites more than anything else. It screws over a lot of naturally gifted folks who may not excel at other components of the admissions process that correlate with household income.

  "Objective", what are you talking about? We live in the neo-middle ages when the notion of objectivity (hence objective rationalism) is total anathema & heresy, &, of course, the source of it - Enlightenment values. We live in the age of the SUBJECTIVE IDEALISM par excellence
