Parents’ meetings among immigrant populations here at the San Francisco Bay Area are already up in arms in a mood of fury and open revolt over the Adversity Score system. It won’t bode well in 2020 for the ETS, and indeed, for the entire underlying movement that produced it.

Biz op: package of brief strategic parental divorce with on-paper residence shift to high-crime neighborhood. If crime wanes, method actors hired to take up slack.

US News will add average adversity score to their rankings and universities will have to compete to maximize it. Yikers.

So let me see if I understand... Their response for some people using unofficial means to make certain people have an advantage is... Make an official way for certain people to have an advantage. Brilliant!

Why not just do away with any from of testing as its too oppressive and just draw a lottery from the general population, oh wait even that wouldn't meet the diversity agenda

I hope someone calls them out on the lack of transparency. Also, isn't this unconstitutional in some way? And what about the adverse circumstances in the middle class homes which aren't broadcasted for everyone to know such as parents' divorce, substance abuse, mental illness?

The SAT has been losing ground in college admission consideration to the ACT and HS GPA for years. This nonsense will likely bring about the end of the SAT. Those who will be skewed - will avoid the SAT because it's no longer the only option.

Prediction: being female also gets you 'adversity points' despite 60%+ of college students being female. Time to abolish academia.
