SATs go SJW - SATs will now contain secret 'adversity scores' 🚨🚨

Strange idea, but I suppose it has its merits. I got my AA from Columbia College, where getting in is as easy as enrolling (like every community college in the country), then completed my Bachelor’s of Mathematics from Missouri S&T.

I never took some silly aptitude test, I simply enrolled and maintained honors.

You may think the tests are silly, but your school requires them today.

So? The admissions requirements say they are required. They must be lying.

Imagine that, you have no idea what you’re talking about.

SATs will now contain secret 'adversity scores': Students will be rated on deprivation and crime | Daily Mail Online

SAT scores will now have secret “adversity scores”, and will be given additional points for factors such as having English as a second language and being the child of a single parent, or living in an area with high crime.

Are you an Asian-American, born to parents who raised you speaking English, who worked hard to give you good educational opportunities? Too bad, because that “dreamer” who is a gang member and who was raised by a single mother now has a higher ‘adversity score’, meaning he will be taking your place!

America’s educational system has gone nuts, and now is now actively punishing people for having English as their native language or for having a mother and father.

lol. Knowing two languages is cheating!

Somebody’s not telling the truth. Is it you or the school’s website? You said you transferred in. Of course you wouldn’t have been required to take the test. I’m not sure what your point is

If you’re having a hard time understanding how to transition from community college to a top-tier University with a higher education value than MIT, I’ll let you in on a little secret - smart people with good grades get into higher education easier than idiots begging for a scholarship. They also graduate with zero student loan debt.

The rest of the world apparently has to compete for the mediocre degrees.

What does this have to do with whether the school has test requirements on their web page?

Nonsense. College is full of a bunch of air-headed dweebs who are only there because they feel they have to be. They’re just hitting another check-mark on the game of life.

You’re the one who thinks she knows diddly squat about S&T from spending 30 seconds on their brochure, so what ever questions you have at this point are irrelevant. I suggest you try attending the University and get back to me.

You’re been reduced to flailing. Carry on.

I agree with that during my AA classes. When I got focused on my major, it was more like uber-intelligent savants from India and China competing with average ol’ me.

I took a STEM course for my graduation. Average idiots don’t even pass their second Calculus class.

Sure thing there, philosophy major.

There are very few savants. Most of us are just faking it to make it. Same as everybody else.

Totally not understanding why anyone is entitled to acceptance to a four year college—SAT, ACT, or no test.

If a student really wants to improve his or education after high school, or pursue a degree, it’s automatic admission to two year college. Associate of Arts and Science are generally automatic admission to state four year colleges.

To be quite frank, I wonder if SAT or any test is a good indication of how successful at college level work one may be. Perhaps difficulty of high school classes & factors like extracurricular activities & community service are more reliable indicators.

I took my accounting courses at a state college. It took anyone who had passed a junior college. The intermediate accounting courses were enormous. After that year, classes were much much smaller. Basically, the school didn’t weed people out at the beginning, but if they couldn’t keep up with the work, they were gone. That seemed like a reasonable alternative to high scores for entrance.
After all, when it comes to the working world, a bad accountant is worse than no accountant.
And as to the value of an accounting degree there, all the big auditing firms, banks, corporations etc. were interviewing there as much as any other school.
