AB - This study examines the college admission system and its reliance on standardized test scores. Instead, the college admission system should consider a synthesis of standardized testing, such as the SAT and high school GPA, and student abilities demonstrated in addition to these standard measures.
For a long time now, the high school GPA and SAT scores of student have been used as the primary tool to determine which high school students are admitted to college. But special activities and community outreach by the student have not been adequately included in admission decisions because they involve qualitative data that is hard to evaluate. This study seeks to broaden the debate about the attributes of candidates for college admission and offer tools that admission officers can use in the admission process to assess those attributes.
First, leadership skills, persistence, talent, and passion for learning should be included in admission evaluations of students. Also special activities within the school curriculum should be considered as well. If data is collected from school records on admission decisions and evaluated, a more meaningful college admission system can be developed.
