- Dartmouth College will again require standardized testing for applicants, following the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in reversing a pandemic-era shift away from assessments such as the SAT and ACT. The school says test scores can help identify high-achieving applicants from low and middle-income backgrounds. Bloomberg's Janet Lorin reports.

Merit matters.
Now I'm confused.
Is it merit or black lives?
Such confusing times...
Just admit your racist 😂😂
By merit you mean legacy applicants.
Boss: I see here you went to Dartmouth
Applicant: Yes
Boss: But you cant read or write?
Applicant; Yes
Applicants having any connection to the Chinese 🇨🇳 CCP should receive an *automatic rejection* for a study visa to US.
If your not a good "test taker" you not going to school. Jesus.
🤡🤡🤡🤡

Ridiculous to think poor students can’t do well on tests - generally there are kids of all economic backgrounds that can take tests and others cannot - if a kid really wants it’s they can do the work to perform well on a test- lack of income should not be a factor of applying oneself during school hours. Go to school and study the work period!!!
Lol… the fair majority of acceptance are for rich kids, simply cause they will be able to put in better applications due to the economic background. A poor kid probably cant afford a high quality tutor AND afford to do the best extracurricular activities, hence why economic background generally gives richer kids a leg up.
I get if you dont understand this.
But this has further implications given the fact that ones university can affect pay scale for the same job and even entry into industries.
It’s essential an entry point into the big leagues, and this ensures generally that those at the top, with stay at the top by being replaced by their kids.
You don't understand the full breadth of consequences that comes from being and living in a low income area. Resources are scarce, sleep is worse due to noise and light pollution, the threat of violence weighs on them psychologically. Internet connections may be poor quality. Difficult to find study companions and feed off one another.
It's true that the best of the best will succeed regardless of the circumstances but they are the rarest of the rare. We miss out on other talented students if we don't make an honest assessment of the conditions that they work in.
This is definitely spoken by someone who is completely clueless.
Studying is a skill that can be learned, so how about all the time they waste in public schools on cultural garbage they have baseline classes teaching how to study and prepare for tests and interviews? Like, actual valuable skills?
They called that homework back in the 60's.
We had things called "libraries" where you went to do research for your homework.
Or you failed.
Everyone is talking about low income students and not low income teachers, access to aid. That’s the disadvantage. Don’t take away the tests. However, it’s important to figure out what’s necessary for ALL Americans to have access to education. Do you know students who practice IQ Tests ? Do you know students who didn’t know there was even access to those. That is a BIG difference.

The lower third heading at 1:42 is misleading. Only one Ivy League school, Dartmouth, has (to date) changed testing standards to make the SAT/ACT mandatory. MIT is outside the Ivy League Athletic conference. The heading states 'Schools' implying more than one Ivy has changed policy. If I am wrong, who are the others that changed?
LOL they took away standardized testing lol wtf
they should devise their own tests.
Good!
Testing is to understand a students level of understanding. If low income or legacy students can’t understand - maybe we should figure out why? Like school funding is from property taxes- which poor people don’t own, the legacy students parents at Blackstone own our apartments in our school districts. So?
Why do higher income students have more time to study than low income students? Everybody gets 24 hours in a day.
A lot of them work. I did.
If you need someone to really answer this question, youve got bigger problems buddy….. why can some people retire earlier than others?
@@Philosific because some people like their jobs and like working more than being retired.
0:45 I disagree. If you’re the parent of a low-income high school student who has worked hard to make the best of their situation and scores well, you want them to get credit for their work!! Also someone isn’t just born “a good test taker.” It’s a learnable skill and trains you in focus, independent work, working under pressure, and monitoring the quality of your own work-all valuable in the real world.
I disagree. I am of average intelligence but in high school and later in college, I always did well on tests. Often that caused my instructors to believe that I am more intelligent or educated than my applied efforts would demonstrate. Observation of practical application and repeatable results is the best, which requires extended periods of student-teacher interaction. That is what school was all about one time. Now it is about money.
Excuses don't go far in life.
Is Janet bigoted? I have a 1550 SAT, so I'm ecstatic.
Just admit your racist 😂😂😂
Dartmouth claim does NOT make any sense, lower income, and middle income students do not have the money to pay tutors or classes to prepare them to take the SAT/ACT. Plus, the cost of taking the test or the fee that the college board charges. Dartmouth is definitely doing this for the opposite reasons. They want to attract rich students so their parents donate to the school. Ridiculous liars! Greedy.
The SAT/ACT doesn't prove anything, only that you are either good taking tests or not. The 4 year grades are the ones that really show your progress as a student.

There are SAT fee waivers, extracurriculars show more prominent wealth inequality than standardized testing, research proved that SAT scores were better predictors of college success. Everything you said is wrong.
SAT is needed to distinguish qualified low income students from the pool of wealthy applicants with lavish extracurriculars
Guess that DEI didn't work after all 🤣🤣🤣
Just admit your racist 😂😂😂
"Low income" aka. Black.
Do you know what it takes to get into a top 20 university. You must not know! Those young adults really have to earn their spot. Once you know then you would be like; “Ok”! 🤷🏾♂️
They’ve been claiming for years that admission based on race is a way of helping disadvantaged students. I’d rather they focus on actual disadvantage by giving a modest bump up to low income students. Yes, there’s a correlation between being black and being low income, but it’s not perfect. One of my black friends at Harvard came from a very wealthy family, went to a private school K-12 and got undergrad and graduate degrees at Harvard. Did they really need the affirmative-action bump for admissions? I think not. Let’s give it to a low-income kid who’s working the very best they can with limited resources and still performing very well.
from what I seen, the African black are taking all the engineering and medical school slots reserve for the American Black. It is unfair becuase many of these african were not born in US and in my time at univeristy did not have US citizenship . So the university needed colors to fill the students body.
Too funny, I guess all this wookie wookie DEI stuff is not producing quality students?? 😅
