Smith College of MA also dropped the SAT requirements.

College is only about tuition fees anyway. As long as you can fog a mirror and have the money, you’re in.

no surprise Belmont college just surpassed Wake Forest in Southern private college ratings.

and David Lipscomb is gaining

All this will do is increase the crop of idiots we already have growing in our mist!

Next time you are at Walmart, just watch the cashier when you check out. That will tell you the tale!

This is so schools can keep their admissions more ‘objective’ and can do their own social engineering quotas and avoid any reverse discrimination charges. In the long run all it will do is admit poorer quality students who will be harmed more than helped by the policy because they will not be able to excel and may drop out instead of going to a school where they could succeed.

If your standards are too high.. lower your standards!

The school, which did away with the testing requirement while examining how to diversify the student population

Got to get those diverse students to get government money.

Is this being done for the betterment of mankind and Western Civilization, or for the benefit of those who are too dumb to pass the test, in the name of diversity??

"In times of universal deceit, telling the truth will be a revolutionary act." George Orwell, 1984

In Liberal/Leftist politics 'reality' is an inconvenience best ignored. But unfortunately for the liberal agenda, reality is that thing that even when you stop believing in it, is still there. As with all liberal experiments in social engineering, it’s the ‘good intentions’ that matters, not the ‘results’.

Minority kids dont do well on the SAT so there must be something wrong with the test. I look forward to a move diverse student population. How about admitting a percentage of those flunking classes in high school, or those with a criminal record, or dont forget those who dropped out of high school, save some slots for them too.

The fact that some students do well despite scoring low on SATs could very possibly be an indication of bias by instructors rather than failure of the SAT.

New requirement test:

Are you a minority?
Are you a woman?
Do you feel you’re getting screwed in Whitey’s society?

Welcome aboard.

[Notasoccermom]

This decision troubles me.

[Lizavetta]

Officials there say the scores are not the best predictor of academic potential.

Because 'academic potential' today means your potential to be a doofus activist liberal who pushes socialism, womyn studies, and environmental justice, and NOT the ability to think, calculate, write, read, or produce anything of value.

[GovernmentShrinker]

Standardized tests, especially of the general knowledge type like the SATs, are marginal predictors of “success” in college, but extremely good predictors of success AFTER college. These schools that are dropping the standardized test requirements are likely to end with students who get wonderful grades, but then have lousy incomes later, and aren’t in a position to donate much to the college, or to enhance the college’s reputation which attracts better applicants in the future.

Great. So we’re going to remove about the only objective criterion for determining college admissions. Wonderful.
