Study: Colleges That Ditch The SAT And ACT Can Enhance Diversity : NPR

I never took them, went to community college and busted my ass. Based on my hard work/performance at a CC I got into a 4 year program at top private university.

I do see a need for schools to have a standardized ranking criteria independent of grades/rankings by high schools (as the the standards between schools will vary so greatly the data is almost useless).

I would imagine that things like volunteer work and outside experience (like an actual job) would help make up for lower SAT scores.

I do think there is an issue with how SAT scores factor in to many discriminatory policies held by schools (particularly against Asians)

College degrees have been getting less and less useless over the last 10+ since I graduated. I see computer science grads that say they have only ever written 3 programs and they only kind of know Python as their only programming language (true story from a female intern diversity hire a few years ago). Now they are becoming utterly laughable.
