It may sound noble to increase admissions for "marginalized" demographics into the most prestigious universities that California has to offer. But this has the real implication of setting these students up for failure. California's UCs demand the utmost of studious conduct. The SAT is one of the best ways of determining whether a student will succeed in such environments. But with the removal of it, we will see an influx of students who will become overwhelmed by the expectations placed upon them. Math will be too complex. Literature will be difficult to comprehend. Writing and spelling will be subpar. Fellow students will resent them in group projects for dragging down their grades. These initially excited diverse students will find themselves struggling. They will lose motivation. They will likely drop out when feeling such despair. They will find themselves with no degree and settled with tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt. In effect, they will be in a worse situation than if they were properly selected for a school that they will thrive in.
