How do legacy students typically score on the SAT? I would imagine high due to various factors. But I am actually curious since I don't quite understand how legacy admissions work being the first in my family to attend college. Less than ~4% of the population where I live attend college so I probably can't even ask others around.

@@edwinrivera5335 - Pretty simple. If your parent or grandparents graduated from any Ivy League or Drool School, their offspring are considered "legacy" admissions. They don't get an automatic entry, but they are moved to the front of the line, with special consideration. Nothing wrong with the concept.

They’re all for sale lol.

I guess they realized standards were not waycist after all

Except that a single point in time, such as a standardized test, isn’t always representative of the student. I got good, but not phenomenal, scores on my ACT. I think 27 or 26. I went to college and got a 3.95 over the course of four years and graduated summa cum laude. Why? Because I busted my butt and put in the work. I failed my first organic chemistry exam, badly. But I got an -A through hard work in class, the homework, and lab. People are more than one single test, and I think using that for admissions is detrimental to a lot of great students

@@salepromo That's why SAT scores have always been assessed along with GPAs and other factors, such as extracurricular activities. Having a test is better than not having one. A standardized test measures the abilities of all students equally, hence the term "standardized." However, one may be a good student, but choke on tests. Ideally, the admissions board would take that into consideration Sure, we can all improve over time, but admissions boards doing longitudinal studies on students would be impossible and impractical. A snapshot of the student's abilities at that "single point in time" is more practical. We all have to perform in the clutch at times, whether it be a test or a job interview. With a job interview, you often get one shot, and can't go back a few weeks later exclaiming, "Wait! Wait! I'm better now. Give me another chance!" 😄

@@victoza9232 I appreciate the well worded reply. A few things though. I understand where your coming from, performing in the moment is important, and these tests are standardized like you say, to provide the most even assessment and whatnot. I think in a perfect world, colleges would require one or the other. You would get a chance to prove who you are. As for the job interview, I also think they stink, but there’s not much you can do about ‘em.

@@salepromo Why choose one or the other? It's stronger when they're combined, as it gives a more complete picture of the applicant. A good student SHOULD be able to do well on the test, and doing well would back up that student's GPA. Check out those 'man on the street" interviews with college students. It's appalling and disheartening how utterly stupid many of these college kids are, and it really makes me wonder how they ever got into college in the first place. They can't answer simple questions like, "How many weeks are in a year" or "What's 3 cubed" or "Name three other countries besides the U.S." Lowering standards, like removing SATs from the mix, will only lead to more of this craziness. I'm glad to see Harvard is reinstating the SAT. It's a start.

Best? Ha!

Yes best. gpa is a horrible tool for students selection, it can be inflated easily. Extra curriculars too can be made up as we saw the lori loughlin case.

Those globalist the Republican party hates so much and spreads misinformation has a fine member - John Kennedy from Louisiana. He went to Oxford University and used to brag about it until it became uncool. These individuals are telling the general public that people shouldn't go to colleges, especially Ivy League school because they're full of leftist communists who hate our country and don't put America first. They had no qualms about going to these "fancy leftists schools who spread nothing but hatred and destroy the Constitution and democracy. But yet they went and they're sending their children to these fancy leftist learning universities, yet they claim the sole intention of these institutions are to destroy the country. They tell YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN not to go to college because you'll be groomed and indoctrinated. Have you ever wondered why they went to these schools but tell you not to go? Why are telling not to let your children not to go? Because they don't want you to be educated. If you learn, you can question, and utilize critical thinking. They will have complete control and you won't have the education to recognize what they're doing. They're already successful. Read the comments - they're all full of negativity about Ivy league schools and the "leftists" that go there. They're not only being negative about Ivy league schools but any college. You're being distracted by their rhetoric and as a result they're taking advantage of you.

Most are "nut houses" but some provide serious bragging rights and perceived economic benefits...so Harvard and the like provide a person a leg up. This type of thing will never change, even if Harvard fails, another will take it's place. The solution make them all "state" universities...and that's sure to kill America's standing on the world's educational stage.

​@yawbamoah2217 if they did on paper, they most certainly haven't in practice. You can't stop crappy people from being crappy just by telling them they are crappy and should stop being crappy. It took this long to find out the President of Harvard was corrupt, and that's a highly public position, imagine how many students and professors have been flying under the radar straight out of these institutions that most definitely rode off their once earned prestige. It is not the place to be anymore, it hasn't been, and it's just now their house of cards are collapsing over them.

​@@pumpkinface8151😂😂😂 fool

I'm confused, it's no longer a thing. Why are you keep talking about it? FOLLOW THE FUCKING NEWS!

Legacy admissions = affirmative action. Zero difference.

If we want education to be the route to success then we should make access to a high quality educational across the country. Try learning history or math in a dilapidated classroom with old books and a teacher who doesn't understand your culture at home and thinks you are dumb because the results of a test taken by you in your less resourced school is being compared to those of the students who have access to some of the best resources not just in their state but sometimes better equipment and material than other countries.

I mean - Google? Everybody got that right?!?!

yea if u wanna be a useless conspiracy brain thats usually too poor to not be selfish, go for it.

​@edwinrivera5335 That why diversity doesn't work. Teacher shouldn't be forced to know youe culture at home. Why do people demand quality where certain groups live? That is racist.

What? That's not even close to being correct. Go to Harvard. If you can get into an Ivy or Stanford (or MIT if it pays), then go. If you can't get in, then you're right. State schools are probably a better option.

​@@alonzosurrette3717State schools are useless. Community College degrees are just as good for employment, which isn't saying much. Harvard and Ivy League schools are more for the networking and nepotism than for the degree

why look down on community colleges? it’s just an option for people that can’t afford to pay the outrageous tuition these institutions require, community colleges have more credibility than ivy leagues nowadays anyways

Better to go to a trade school. Unless you're going to college for a specific degree like medicine, law, STEM, etc, it's useless.

Well then you need to go to the Capitol Hill and go to the Senate and to the House of Representatives and go and kick out a lot of people because most of them were hired because they went to Harvard aside from the fact that also they ran campaigns that were dubious probably in many cases and a lot of them happen to be from Red States so let's be real as they say.

People have always been hired based on connections, and that's what Harvard is all about.

​@@Educated2Extinctionto what extent? For corporate jobs I absolutely agree with that, but for low/mid level state/federal positions you get the job if you meet the criteria.

​@@TylerG393people from ivy league schools aren't applying for those jobs though.

@@Educated2Extinction to some extent true, especially for first job It also works against you at other companies. For a couple years my dad recruited for one top 10 banks for corporate and commercial loan officers, (then he went back into his regular job there in that department )..

Completely agree.

@@aln5832 : At least their checks paid for a lot of scholarships. Legacy administration is a fact of life, better than the PC admissions. Those subpar students and staff members are not the abused slaves, they are from either third world countries or rich Americans.

@@dreichert1438 There are pitfalls to standardized testing that leave out a lot of people, especially poor people

Yes, but in a deceptive way.. SAT scores have a 98.6 % correlation rate to standard IQ scores, if you score a perfect SAT (1600) your IQ is 150-155. Too many blk students don’t do well in this category, even if they have perfect GPAs.

Not to mention a complete waste of taxpayers money paying for your education when a degree from most any college will suffice these days. But I do understand what you're saying.
