<p>Also I remember one time…there was this girl in my SAT prep class and she talked about how the SAT was bad, and how colleges should accept everyone for who they are, because they are nice and friendly. Frankly, it was the biggest BS I’ve heard for a while.</p>
<p>If she had her wish, then some of the laziest people would go to mingle with hard-working, and motivated people in prestigious colleges…which would be unfair to the latter, since the hard-workers would not be able to have an deserved advantage over those who procrastinated all four years.</p>
<p>Not surprisingly, it was no coincidence that she was in the bottom 50% in class rankings and couldn’t pass a 2000 on the practice SATs despite numerous SAT prep courses.</p>
<p>Tough luck…the SAT, like GPA and ECs, is just another method of separating the rejects, and the accepteds. It’s just a cold harsh truth we have to realize and work to accomplish, not fight against, because there’s no point. I mean, almost everyone in my HS HATES standardized tests, but they study for it very hard because they know they have no choice and there are so many pros to doing well on the SAT/ACT/SAT 2s/APs, etc.</p>
