<p>[New</a> ‘potential’ index looks at what admissions tests can’t - USATODAY.com](<a href=“http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2009-07-07-potential-index_N.htm]New”>http://www.usatoday.com/news/education/2009-07-07-potential-index_N.htm)</p>
<p>Hmmm. I’d say that they have seen the writing on the wall and are looking for a new source of revenue for when the day comes that the SAT and GRE general exams are finally completely discredited.</p>
<p>One of the med schools to which my DD is applying plans to use this, just great t expect profs who barely managed to get LORs into the system after months of asking to then be available and responsive in the summer with short notice to fill out a 30 minute evaluation! :eek:</p>
<p>This seems to be a subjective evaluation done by multiple people. I’d like to see the backup data that says this test is valid at projecting anything.</p>
<p>What a lunacy! Can you imagine someone who’s been in the workforce for a while to come up with a list of professors who could evaluate him or her based on this list of criteria?</p>
