<p>Hi-
So I have to give a speech on how, “During the college admissions process, SAT scores come to define students”. Ugg. Anybody have any suggestions/tips/examples? Public speaking sucks…</p>
<p>^whoa…that’s so not true</p>
<p>Well, you could talk about how SAT scores don’t get you in, but can prevent you from getting in. For instance, a 2250 won’t get one into an Ivy League school, but without a 2250, most people don’t have a snowball’s chance. You can say that the SAT defines at what tier one will most likely end up.</p>
<p>you can go the other way, and say that although it does sometimes define students, it really shouldn’t and is only a part of the app, bla bla bla. don’t know if your speech has to be in support of that sentence you posted though</p>
<p>Well. First thing in the college books, right under basic info, they list SAT in most cases and normally to get into a college, you have fall within the 25-75th percentile. Talk about the fact that people are being labeled with their “stats.” People aren’t meant to be defined as numbers aka GPA/SAT. There’s much more substantial things like Essays and ECs that provide insight into a person. A robot could get 2400. But a robot couldn’t be creative enough to get into top universities.</p>
