https://www.businessinsider.com/college-board-is-adding-adversity-score-to-sat-2019-5

Students applying to colleges in the future will now be graded not just on their academic merits, but also on how privileged they were in obtaining their education. All applicants utilizing the SATs will receive, in addition to their regular scores, a single number score ranging from 1 to 100 that represents how privileged they are. A lower score indicates an applicant is more privileged and conversely a lower score indicates the applicant is less privileged.

This score will be sent directly to the schools the students have applied to and the students will not be made aware of their privilege score.

This new scoring system made a trial run in a number of schools this year, likely effecting the enrollment at those schools, and this system will be rolled out nationwide for all schools using the SATs from now on.

The score will indicate a test taker's socioeconomic status and educational access, and it will be visible only to college officials.

that seems alright to me, those things are already a factor in admissions processes anyway, seems like they're just trying to make an objective measure of it

I've known adcoms my entire life, and they're very sneaky people. If they see that you took the ACT, and interview you, they'll try to suss you out and assign some BS like a "personality score" that takes into account that you're probably from a privileged background. Basically insidious tactics to circumvent being called out for the racists/sexists/classists that leftist adcoms usually are.

I can understand wanting to simplify the process so colleges have less to look at. Having one score to encompass everything is just easier for them (though the effectiveness may leave something to be desired).

Go to a less fortunate city and talk to someone who studies hard. Go to a well off city and talk to someone who puts in average effort. You may be suprised.
I grew up in an affluent city, and when I changed schools, it was a surprise. I felt like a genius while still being someone who messed around.
Well off cities get great supplies and updated material.

Right, affirmative action is racist, makes sense.

The significant factual statistics highlighting the inordinate amount of difficulties racial minorities experience only point to one thing - the lack of systemic racism. Affirmative action is just giving racial minorities MORE handouts, amirite?

I am very curious to know how you explain all the hard data we have that highlights the system racism in America. Please answer some questions for us to enlighten us all with your wisdom. Why are African Americans over-represented in crime statistics? Why are they more likely to get convicted, serve longer terms, and are not afforded the same respect with defense tactics, particularly "stand your ground."? Why are the nations wealthiest neighbourhoods predominantly white? Why are minorites accepted into college at lower rates? Why do they graduate at lower rates?

Exactly. It's irrelevant to their ability to study and do well with the education they receive. It should be based on relevant things like how often they've cheated.

This idea seems flawed. Regardless of whether the idea is any good the first place, it's outright bizarre that race would not be counted, since that would seem to be one of the biggest challenges some students would face.

I actually think the reason this has been developed is because it looks like Affirmative Action might finally be struck down in court from the suits filed by Asians who got screwed by it.

So the college system is scrambling to find something to replace it that is explicitly not based on race, but...in the end will result in the status quo mostly remaining the same.
Maybe I'm just too cynical, and it's a coincidence this has been rolled out in conjunction w/ the lawsuits from Asian students that seem promising at ending AA...

There are 1,0001 problems with what you're saying. The problems you're talking about are largely antiquated (systemic racism), and in the context of contemporary representation, it often has more to do with certain racial groups simply scoring better, on average, than other racial groups. Asians are the prime example to use here because their parents often come from poor backgrounds, yet they do well in spite of these circumstances. Yet people like you want to be blatantly racist by discriminating against them simply because they were born a different race than others, and managed to do better on their own merit.

Also, you have no way of proving how disadvantaged one kid is compared to another. You're just making a sweeping platitude based on race. For all you know the hispanic kid you're giving an advantage to grew up with loving parents who gave him a good environment to foster educational growth compared to the white kid who, in spite of being richer or more "priveleged" on paper, had a shitty upbringing.

Again, you struggle with basic comprehension. No, you are the one making bogus claims about the lack of systemic racism in America. This is well documented case that I provided arguments for. If you really want me to cite each statistic, I easily could and you know it with a quick Google search. However, that is not the issue here. The issue is that you believe in ignorance and are so ignorant that you are incapable of defending it. Anybody who stands with racist logic is a racist to some extent.

You are right, the only thing that should matter is merit. Except people's lives don't exist is some kind of vacuum free of society. An individual's merit must be determined in our highly radicalized society - one that sees minorities accepted in universities at lower rates, graduate at lower rates, and otherwise struggle to engage with Eurocentric education systems that sit in racially divided society.

We agree that the only thing that is important is a student's merit. You just seem to think white people getting advantages in white-dominated society isn't connected to race when, statistically, we have proven otherwise. It is funny that you advocate for equality in education yet you ignore what any respectable leading academic is saying. The only people saying affirmative action isn't correcting a historical wrong are racists who operate at the fringe of their discipline.

Africa has Somalia, the most lawless shithole on the planet, I don't think stats will necessarily reflect reality.

Also if you have a culture that promotes crime and excludes non-blacks and people like you who try to alienate black people from everyone else, you're going to have propensity to black people being represented poorly.

For all you know the hispanic kid you're giving an advantage to grew up with loving parents who gave him a good environment to foster educational growth compared to the white kid who, in spite of being richer or more "priveleged" on paper, had a shitty upbringing.


Right, systemic racism is antiquated. That is why it has been overcome and doesn't exist in America, right? Oh wait, yes it does and America is one of the most systemically racist places in the world. You are correct, there is no way to predict how disadvantaged a kid will be or where they will end up... except for all those statistics we have about how kids from different areas and backgrounds will experience challenges and success... Seriously, there is an entire academic field that looks into this. TO think race isn't one of the biggest factor in that discussion is either extremely ignorant or a little racist.

It is also hilarious you mention how well Asian kids are doing because they actually face some of the most discrimination when entering American colleges. But hey, don't let facts and statistics get in the way of a god argument, right?

One more thing to clear up, everybody will face challenges in their life regardless of circumstance. One thing white people in America won't struggle with, however, is systemic racism. That is the entire point. It has little to do with financial or social privilege although to act like those are connected to race in a country built on black slavery is, again, either extremely ignorant or a little racist.

Oh, so you are saying black people are more likely to be criminals. That is false and racist. Look at a global picture and you will not see more black criminals. By your logic, Americans would be considered the most criminal demographic in the entire world since they have the most "criminals" incarcerated.

Africa has Somalia, the most lawless shithole on the planet, I don't think stats will necessarily reflect reality.

Also if you have a culture that promotes crime and excludes non-blacks and people like you who try to alienate black people from everyone else, you're going to have propensity to black people being represented poorly.


Ahhh, a deflection. Again, who is promoting a criminal culture? Becausde most people would say "Americans" and not "blacks." vJust come out and say it, you think blacks are more likely to commit crime. That makes you a racist. If you want to be a racist, that is your prerogative as an adult but be aware of your stance and own it. Don't act like you are something you are not.

Also, how am I trying to alienate black people by trying to help them get the same social advantages as their white peers do?

This might surprise you, but you can be American AND black! I'd also like to point out that the higher black crime rate applies to the UK as well.

The issue is a casually racist criminal culture that encourages black people to act criminally expressing less formulaicly: "Government = Bad, Government = White so White = Bad". There's not an equivalent culture remotely as prevalent as with black people.

It's statistically true.

That makes you a racist.

I'm against destructive/inferior culture dragging people down, and this effects black people more commonly. Those who accept their neighbours and adopt some cultural homogeneity don't attack their own nation, this is what matters, race is irrelevant.

Then just say you hate me because I'm white.

You're creating an outgroup bias by adopting an US v THEM attitude toward white people. You don't get the social advantages of being a homogeneous American by acting like a hostile outsider.

To get the same social advantages, you integrate in to the society. Those who don't fail and blame their failure on race, not their own hostility.

Isn't the literal point of the SAT to have a blind assessment of a persons knowledge?
