Haven't you read? SAT scores have no value anymore.

Georgia Tech and UGA admissions still require the SATs from its students. I have heard that UC Admissions removed the SAT requirements among its applicants since 2020. How do you and your friends feel about that? Do you think that UC Admissions made the right decision?

 

[irvinehomeowner]

I do.

SATs are just a pocket industry that doesn't really prove a student's "aptitude" for college.

Psychological profiles might be better.

In 2010, Georgia Institute of Technology's student profile and demographics looked similar to that University High School in Irvine in the 1990s. Admission rate was 51% in 2011 and 15% in 2023. What changed for Tech from 2011 to 2023? Demographics and Student Profile.
