From TFA:
> The flaws in standardized testing are well-documented at this point.... their predictive powers only forecast a student’s progress as far as the first semester of their freshman year.
Let's be honest. Raise your hand if you needed markedly
more than your first semester of freshman year to figure
out which of your friends at college were going to cut it
in some traditional academic sense.
Not saying that's the only sense, but as far as the
college should be able to measure, academics for 4(+) years are the only fair initial barometer. Of course, academics can't say anything about who can write a 7+
figure donation to the college 30 years after graduation...
