This is also my position re: equity concerns. ‘get a good score on the test for which literally thousands of resources to prepare for exist” is far easier for low-SES applicants to navigate than the Byzantine maze of ‘holistic‘ admissions which have lots of unspoken rules, etc
going to reiterate a long time take of mine which is that grades and essays are far worse for disadvantaged groups than the SAT. A student in poorly funded school is generally going to have a worse essay and transcript than someone with a private tutor, meanwhile there are SAT guides on youtube
grades are an extremely messy signal and you do in fact need some kind of universal baseline.

At least you can learn all about your Mental Illness that now costs money to “manage,” from another underpaid peasant. Don’t you let anybody JUDGE YOU for it.
They know you won’t Judge the bastards actually doing this to all of us, for profit, after all. You don’t have time. Be brave. Be best.

I think the rest of the world is just now learning that this is just how policing in the US has been done, for some time, now.
A lot of Americans seem to have ignored it, too, for “some” reason.

Oh honey you must be younger than the events that led the asshats to found ICE. And avoided all writing by people who were present, then.
That’s the only excuse for this nonsense.
I lost a lot of old friends to it, body and soul.
Your disrespect is telling.
Opinions can’t replace credibility.

Well, I mean, they prefer money, yeah. “Confusion” always belongs in quotes, with them.
