As someone who is currently thinking quite a bit about university admissions (I accepted an offer today, and made a post about it)[1], I think this is sidestepping the main concern: school overcrowding. Being of a certain minority group, even if I had a perfect prodigal SAT + GPA combo, I would have a 15% chance of getting in. At that point there is no point to taking the SAT, if it's all random chance. [2] Note: I definitely did not have a perfect GPA, or any SAT. Getting rid of the SAT has zero effect on whether I get in. I still agree with him overall, but until we can get to a point where if you get good grades, you get a spot at a proportionally good university, worrying about the SAT will not matter. --- [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27302928 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27302928 [2]: https://wkoury.github.io/harvard-admissions/ https://wkoury.github.io/harvard-admissions/
