Subject: Re: Yale joins Dartmouth in restoring admissions Testing Requirement Author: An Observer [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:48:50 02/22/24 Thu In reply to: Son of Eli 's message, "Yale joins Dartmouth in restoring admissions Testing Requirement" on 09:23:33 02/22/24 Thu Congratulations to Dartmouth and Yale. Today is a great day. Universities are educational institutions. There is nothing wrong or insidious with testing for educational aptitude for entrance thereto. Admissions offices can still make adjustments and allowances in the name of social engineering, but the academy has now hit rock bottom and can begin the long journey back. Hallelujah. And shame on any Ivies which do not fall in line. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Yale joins Dartmouth in restoring admissions Testing Requirement Author: Fear the Quaker [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:51:25 02/22/24 Thu I see nothing wrong with it, but I worry that the kid that excels in school and takes part in the community can be left out of the equation because they are not the best test taker. Diamonds are not always perfect. I also worry, about how you weed out the test score that is jacked up by test prep. No system is perfect and I understand that fact. I also see nothing wrong with schools leaning on in person interviews too. The schools should utilize this avenue too in my opinion to find well-rounded individuals. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
