What would colleges be like if SATs were the sole admission criterion?

For starters, I would not have any education higher than high school, instead of a Master’s degree and two bachelors’. I’d either be working, unloading trucks at Wal-Mart, or flipping burgers.

Thankfully, in my case, they looked at a great many other things BEYOND SAT scores.

They also looked at many things other than the SATs with the students who had very high SAT scores. Athletics, community service, etc. Minorities still won out anyway.
