Adversity Score

"Essentially."

It appears that your issue is with the availability of coaching to those with the drive and ambition to obtain it.

It's not about drive and ambition. It's about family money. If person A is holding down an evening job to help the family make ends meet, and person B is using that same time receiving professional one-on-one test prep, and they score anywhere nearly each other, a university would be wise to bet on person A.

I would like to know who told you that "rich families are a lot more aware of the option to get a friendly doctor to diagnose the kid with a condition that allows for an untimed test."

The rich families I know. Presumably you don't know any, or you'd be aware of this.

College admissions should be based on just one thing.

Well, then by all means start your own university and use that single-factor
admissions criterion and see how it goes. As you presumably know, though, no real-world university functions that way. They all consider a host of criteria, such as legacy status, parental donations, athletic potential, musical or dramatic skills, ability to pay, geographic and ethnic diversity, GPA, high school course load, essays, interviews, extra-curriculars, prizes and academic honors won, other academic tests, planned major, and so on.

So you say. It's possible for someone struggling with poverty to overcome adversity by working hard and sacrificing so that their children can afford Kaplan or the Princeton Review coaching that will give them improved test scoring, isn't it?

Name them and list their contact information. If you refuse, there's no proof that you actually know them, is there?

Did you suffer some sort of stroke? Your comment is such a bizarre non sequitur that I'm forced to wonder about cerebral hemorrhage.

You are the one who brought up all those qualifications for college. I was simply remnding you that liberals want free college for everyone.

Are you unaware of the positions of leading DEMOCRATS?

Isn't a "free" or low-cost post-secondary education already available for nearly anyone who wants one?

So, you want parents to turn over five years of tax returns to the SAT people? Moron.

How about you just stop being a fascist fcktard wanting to manage the lives of others? How about you just top being a fascist fcktard trying to shit all over society with your libby backdoor racial discrimination? How about we just have a test that does nothing more or less than measure academic accomplishment?

Don't scholarships, grants and endowments already make a quality education available at little cost to nearly anyone who wants one?
