Just take the ACT like I did. LOL
The real reason they like it, buried in the middle.
Is Hampshire College accredited? Never heard of them.
Heck, why have any standards? If someone applies, just let them in. Who cares what their grasp of subject matter is? I note that they are very proud that diversity jumped form 21% to 31%. Mission accomplished. Who saw this coming?
Look at some of our government officials who are part of a minority. How is that working out for us?
Joycelynn Elders? Barack Obama?
I rest my case.
Yes, why have any standards at all. We don’t for president. Taht’s paying off big time...
I never ever took either the ACT or the SAT.
I graduated in December 2011 with a 4.00 GPA, Summa Cum Laude, with a Bachelor’s degree.
Those tests don’t predict SQUAT.
The SAT isn't perfect. I wish they'd never changed it; the structure of the original one was less complex and required analytic skills. It's an equalizer, and using it often meant colleges had a better picture of which students had innate ability and desire.
When Hampshire College was invented (I was in college then), one of their claims to fame was a “No SAT policy”.
AFAIK, they have never required the SAT. No idea what this “news” is about.

Hampshire College has decided to concentrate on the only benchmark that matters, the parent’s credit score. More than 700 and the kid is in!
Where I work we don’t accept people from colleges that don’t consider SATs, as we cannot figure out a way that a college can OBJECTIVELY compare applicants from high schools that have standard that are all over the map.
...so maybe we’re wrong, but we’ll risk it. LOL.
