If colleges are doing this anyway, then this is just a standardized way to do the scoring. This is basically a service the college board is providing to colleges. This could be seen as a good thing, even if you don’t like affirmative action. Instead of relying on crude metrics like zip code, race and income, this will allow for a more granular approach. If we are going to give a leg up to the disadvantaged (and therefore a push down for the advantages) we might as well do as good of a job as possible.
