    Why do 100% bookworms think they deserve to be admitted to college first?

    Why does someone who maxes out the SAT score think they should be admitted before someone else who scored well enough to get admitted and was a marching band standout?

    Shouldn't it matter that marching band is talent.

    But lets say that 100% bookworms should be admitted to college first; after I admit a percentage of them can I then start admitting students with visible/physical talent?

    Simply put; at a certain point can I stop making the SAT score the most important factor?
    Good luck.

      it's not the most important factor... it's one of many factors they use to consider applicants for admission...

      my guess is that GPA is the most important one... if you don't take your classes seriously enough to get decent grades in high school, you aren't going to take college seriously either...

          But people are suing because they had high SAT scores and didn't get admitted.
          Good luck.

              Why do they look for big physical guys on a football team? Why cant they let couple of Paki boys on and let them play strong safety?

                      Why does the football team stop looking for the biggest guys after the ofensive line is complete and start looking for fast guys or a "Paki boy" to kick field goals?

                      Good luck.

                              Because they do not need any more players on offensive line, simpleton. Just like we don't need 200 people with Kinesiology degree who will be delivering pizza after graduation.

                                  Maybe because college is about education and producing doctors, engineers, teachers etc.
                                  I can't remember any profession with "marching band" in its title.

                                      True, all those professional band teachers leave "marching" out of their title because there is always concert season.

                                      Good luck.

                                              Why do people think they should get preferential treatment just because their skin color is black?

                                                  Yeah, nobody grows up wanting that; they don't usually turn to that until they see that porn is their other alternative.

                                                  Good luck.

                                                      "100% bookworms" is a better way to describe students with a high GPA. Test scores are more indicative of intelligence.

                                                          I don't know; it's a question that's been asked though out America's history.
                                                          Why did America form such a system hundreds of years ago?

By the time they go to college most of them discovered their talent and performed number of gigs. Thats why they get music department scholarships not marching band.

                                                                                              You don't need to, because it typically isn't. There's a correlation between SAT scores and how well a freshman does their first semester - when they take the general "weed out" courses - after that, their curriculum is going to become increasingly specific to their interest and possible career goals, and the SAT scores become less relevant. Therefore, universities want to make reasonably sure students can get past that point by having a minimum SAT requirement, but after that they want students with strong aptitude towards what the school has to offer.

                                                                                              You mention marching band - typically very important to 'black colleges' and those that go to bowl games. All else being equal, a "marching band standout" would therefore be a better candidate for Alabama than say Harvard. Now suppose instead that rather than being a marching band standout, they are now captain of their school's 4-year-running tri-state-area championship debate team. Their chances of getting into Harvard just went up dramatically.

                                                                                                      You don't need to, because it typically isn't. There's a correlation between SAT scores and how well a freshman does their first semester - when they take the general "weed out" courses - after that, their curriculum is going to become increasingly specific to their interest and possible career goals, and the SAT scores become less relevant. Therefore, universities want to make reasonably sure students can get past that point by having a minimum SAT requirement, but after that they want students with strong aptitude towards what the school has to offer.

                                                                                                      You mention marching band - typically very important to 'black colleges' and those that go to bowl games. All else being equal, a "marching band standout" would therefore be a better candidate for Alabama than say Harvard. Now suppose instead that rather than being a marching band standout, they are now captain of their school's 4-year-running tri-state-area championship debate team. Their chances of getting into Harvard just went up dramatically.

                                                                                                      Trivia question.
                                                                                                      Who would you chose:
                                                                                                      a. Harvard grad doctor with his diploma.
                                                                                                      b. Grambling State grad doctor with marching band pictures.

How many people went to Jr. college before university? How many people started college and dropped out? How many people commenting actually finished college? Curious...


                                                                                                              I have met some very genius and successful people that never went to college and or dropped out. College by no means garentees Life success or lack of going to college guarantees Life failure.



                                                                                                              Personally I went to Jr. college, then I transferred into state university. My grades and GPA sucked ass after high school.


                                                                                                              One key thing I noticed was when I finished Jr. college, with a 2.85 GPA, I had a greater selection of colleges than people with 3.8 GPAs coming out of high school.

                                                                                                              Coming out of Jr. College, shows bigger universities, that I can do the work and that I can already handle college life and its academic courses.


                                                                                                              I didn't do marching band, I never took the SAT, I didn't do community service and all of the lame shit that highs school students needed to do, to look good for school administrators.


                                                                                                              When I was in University, I can't tell you how many people with high SAT scores, 4.0 high school GPAs, etc, fail out because they just couldn't deal with the new freedom away from mommy and daddy's household. So many people failed out or just quit.


                                                                                                              College has a 80% drop out rate. And school administers know this. Thats why they are looking for things other than SAT scores and GPAs in account to choosing their future students.

But when I finally got into university, I finished with 2 degrees and 2 minors and went on to Law School. You just never know who is who and who is going to do what by academic standards alone.

                                                                                                                          To a hammer, everything looks like a nail. Those who are good at standardized tests think that the SAT should be weighted more heavily.


                                                                                                                          You're getting closer. Now what about those with creative talents that are not physical and cannot be quantified on a standardized test? (See Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences)


                                                                                                                          You don't need to, because it typically isn't. There's a correlation between SAT scores and how well a freshman does their first semester - when they take the general "weed out" courses - after that, their curriculum is going to become increasingly specific to their interest and possible career goals, and the SAT scores become less relevant. Therefore, universities want to make reasonably sure students can get past that point by having a minimum SAT requirement, but after that they want students with strong aptitude towards what the school has to offer.

                                                                                                                          You mention marching band - typically very important to 'black colleges' and those that go to bowl games. All else being equal, a "marching band standout" would therefore be a better candidate for Alabama than say Harvard. Now suppose instead that rather than being a marching band standout, they are now captain of their school's 4-year-running tri-state-area championship debate team. Their chances of getting into Harvard just went up dramatically.
                                                                                                                          Yes, I left out abstract creativity specifically because we don't really have a test that makes sense for that.
                                                                                                                          But I will measure what creativity I can and the physical talents demonstrate some measure of a student's creativity.
                                                                                                                          Good luck.

                                                                                                                                  My music teacher back in Jr high would have done well in porn. Damn she had a nice rack.

Some of these bookworm kids trying to enter college might possibly have an inflated sense of self-worth and thus have a high level of false entitlement, most likely inherited or given to them by their parents who think their kid is *special*.

                                                                                                                                  Come to think of it that same sense of entitlement so many people seem to be walking around with today is the reason for all kinds of law suits, so it would be no surprise at all if it were the thing being used by kids to force their way into this college or that.

Kids with musical talent don't waste time on marching bands. They practice their Beethoven instead. By the time they go to college most of them discovered their talent and performed number of gigs. Thats why they get music department scholarships not marching band.

A high GPA and good testing scores prove that the student applied themselves in a broad range of subjects, which is important at the university level since they are dealing with fickle 17-18yo kids.

                                                                                                                                                                                  Scholarships and and grants are decided and distributed from a list of student and instructor submited applicants. The applicants the actually get chosen have the Highest GPAs with in their fields of study. So the fact that I apply for everything scholarship, Grant and the 4.0 student does not, makes me the bad guy? Bitter?? Troll?? Your post clearly demonstrates that you are a clueless tool looking to pick a fight.
