I posted a study saying the exact opposite.
Where are these studies that say the SAT is not a measure of intelligence?

Intelligence refers to a person’s underlying capacity to learn, reason, and solve problems. The SAT doesn’t measure that capacity directly. It measures specific academic skills, especially in math and English . People with higher cognitive capacity often acquire those skills more easily, which is why SAT scores correlate with intelligence. But correlation doesn’t mean the two constructs are identical. Someone can be highly intelligent yet perform poorly on the SAT if they haven’t been exposed to the material, haven’t practiced the tested skills, or haven’t used that type of math in years. Many adults would struggle with SAT math for exactly this reason, even though their underlying intelligence hasn’t changed. The test reflects practiced skill, not raw capacity, so the two should not be treated as interchangeable.

So as a kid, I bumped into the corner of the kitchen counter. I was immediately sent to the hospital and got 12 stitches. The doctors claimed my intelligence was heavily damaged (around 70). However my reaction time is super high (510 ms). As a non-intelligent person, I took the SAT in March 2024. I kind of understood the material from basic middle school learnings. Two weeks later, I got a 1600. I think ts test is just really dumb and shows nothing. Instead I think your score is caused by how high your reaction time is.
anything to discuss regarding UNC EA OOS?

And that’s not factual unless you had real measures of intelligence. You can argue as you want there is established science. It’s not a matter of a “doctor looked at me” and not about I think therefore it is. Feel free to study Psychology and psych assessment theory.
Does UNC send any email/notification ahead of releasing EA results?
UNC is mostly Admit or Deny, right? Not many deferrals?

Or waitlist. Very very few deferrals.
Last year I believe it was at 4:00.
Et right?
Yes
It’s out
My daughter just got email that decisions are in.
I haven’t check but saw her email come through …eeks.. she’s in class
D26 was accepted but NOT into the business school. That MIGHT be a deal breaker since she is directly admitted into ND Mendoza.
1560, 4.0 UW, 11 APs (5s on all she’s taken) and 3 DEs, including Calc 3. Good ECs, weak awards, probably good recs.
Rejected… pretty much expected that, OOS is a long shot. 1500 SAT (one sitting), 7 AP (all 5s so far) and 4 DE. 4.0 UW. Very good ECs, fair essay (writing is not her best event) and awards, probably good recs.

My son just called me to tell me he was rejected. He is a great candidate who has been getting excellent results so far, but not at all shocked due to how hard it is to get in out of state.
Congrats to everyone accepted! I have a friend who had two kids graduate from there. They loved it and are doing great as alums.

Waitlisted. Anyone have any idea what percentage are waitlisted and what the likelihood of getting in off of the waitlist is? Thanks.
