@psycholing Not every family can afford to take so many subject tests or buy all the materials to prepare for them. Similarly not every family has the funds to visit every college they apply to before they are accepted or travel for alumni interviews. Also I don’t know what the supplemental materials beforehand consisted of, but another CC user commented that supplemental materials that reward video or multimedia content or other similar material content often disadvantages low-income students who may not have video-editing experiences or equipment. I think these are positive changes. although I do see the appeal of doing an additional interview or additional supplemental material to bolster your chances… but that might not be accessible for everyone.
