Dropping the SATs Hurts Poor Kids. Elite colleges are eliminating standardized tests before they eliminate legacy admissions. Tells you all you need to know. Our ruling class is doing all they can to prevent the poors from getting in.

Better off, honestly. Unless you're going to an Ivy League school, you're likely pouring money down the drain so your kid can go to an adult daycare for four years. Not to mention saddling them with student loan debt right out of the gate.

This is literally about elite schools

I thought your team had been assigned to read all articles before commenting?

You missed my point as it says "Elite colleges" in the headline. I'm saying that college, period, shouldn't be the only goal for students, and even if it were, you don't drop the standards just to let people in to satisfy diversity quotas. Unless you're going to an Ivy League college, which is dropping SATs as a deciding factor anyway. So the only schools demanding an SAT are NOT Ivy League schools.

Beside trying to shit on me, wtf is your stupid point?
