>>Why do you say minorities and women basically are having the state take the SAT for them? I’m not familiar with those programs.<<
The thumbs on the scales for womyn and minorities is so heavy in terms of measuring SAT scores for admission they (womyn/minorities) practically don’t have to take them.
In what way do you say the 'thumb is on the scales' for women and minorities? They score the tests all the same way. Are you referring to the way they are normed by sex? Are you referring to the predictions of success in college? Could you clarify?
