<p>I’m willing to put forth the idea that some of the most brilliant people I know have SATs in the 1200s. And I’ve known people who are very academically gifted with SATs in the 1500s, but who are unfortunately all-around unpleasant human beings and that may bar success for them later in life. I feel SATs test more knowledge than they do ability to think, and with SATs in similar ranges, it does not make sense to let that be a deciding factor.</p>
