Doesn’t matter what SAT score they receive, their ability to work their way through the course material is what matters. A large percentage of blacks that enter College drop out during their first year. Just because you get an augmented SAT score doesn’t guarantee you will make it in College.

It does matter.

For every student who is admitted through an "augmented" score there is a more deserving student who was denied her chance to attend a top-rated university.

Exactly - this affects admissions. SAT scores are a determinant for acceptance to universities.
