"People in power today would much rather do something that seems to promote “equity” than make an evidence-based choice that could lead to accusations of racism." My experience was that the system worked just fine for all kinds of people that got to the point that they wanted to go to a UC. Among my siblings and our offspring family of 12, we put 6 of family members through the UC system (Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD). 3 went through the community college system with no reliance on standardized test scores. 2 took SATs and GPAs. 1 got in this fall on GPA alone.
