Study Reaffirms Mt. Holyoke SAT Policy

<p>Dstark: thanks for the website. I didn’t perhaps read it thoroughly enough, but I didn’t see where it says that students with lower SES do better on the SAT 2. What I did see is that, in this study, the SAT 2 had a better predictive value for freshman grades. So a lower SES student with higher SAT 1 than 2 would now be deemed a greater risk and perhaps not be accepted. So it’s really important to see if their SAT 2’s are equivalent to their 1’s or not. They don’t seem to chart that (though they do show that within racial categories, there isn’t a variance, but that begs the question of whether there is a variance by SES or not.)</p>

<p>I may have missed tht chart (like I said, I skimmed), but if it’s not there, the question to me remains open.</p>
