How do you define a “fair” advantage then? Is being born into better circumstances or being inherently more intelligent a “fair” advantage? And if you tend to be unscrupulous in your attempts to “get ahead,” then your score does represent your character. How much do you really value a true representation of oneself, anyway? Almost every person I know who wants to attend a competitive college (including myself) has taken a class he/she didn’t particularly care for in order to polish his/her credentials. For some people, this even extends to joining clubs they don’t have any strong interest in. Is this representative of their true selves and their true passions? No – they are being dishonest. But it’s a dishonest world, so I don’t reserve any particular repugnance for those who cheat on tests.
