It would be interesting to regress out family income from scores and then correct the scores to the national median family income. I wonder if anyone does that.

- asoneth 3y agoI think the massive blowback the College Board got from "Adversity Scores" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_SAT#2019_introduction_and_abandonment_of_the_'Adversity_Score'_and_launching_of_'Landscape' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_SAT#2019_introd... would prevent them from doing that themselves. However they do offer a "Landscape" which provides similar details and many admissions programs use that to do something like what you're describing.
- jedberg 3y agoI'm pretty sure The College Board (makers of the SAT) have done that analysis. Not sure if they share it publicly, but I'll bet they share it with admissions officers.
