Re: Выбор университета
О, у меня через работу есть подписка. Вот кусок статьи:
The University of Chicago will no longer require ACT or SAT scores from U.S. students, sending a jolt through elite institutions of higher education as it becomes the first top-10 research university to join the test-optional movement.
Numerous schools, including well-known liberal arts colleges, have dropped or pared back testing mandates in recent years to bolster recruiting in a crowded market. But the announcement Thursday by the university was a watershed, cracking what had been a solid and enduring wall of support for the primary admission tests among the two dozen most prestigious research universities.

О, а там рядом какая удачная статья:
Clarinetist discovers his ex-girlfriend faked a rejection letter from his dream school
A judge in Canada awarded Eric Abramovitz $350,000 in damages caused by his girlfriend's “reprehensible betrayal of trust” that delayed his career as a professional clarinetist.

У меня почему-то открывается без подписки.
The SAT and ACT scales are broadly known gauges that many admissions professionals find helpful when they sift through thousands of applications and worry whether certain high schools are inflating grades.

The private university in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood admits fewer than 10 percent of applicants and ranks third on the U.S. News & World Report list of top national universities, after Princeton and Harvard and tied with Yale. It has required prospective freshmen to take a national admission test since 1957. Before that, it screened applicants with its own tests.

С футболистами обычно NCAA (или кто там) диктует минимум SAT, так что смотреть как раз у футболистов будут точно.

Легче им будет набирать блатных и disadvantaged. И рейтингу них проплаченный, на самом деле туда не так трудно поступить.

Re: Выбор университета
Да, в большинстве «очень престижных частных школ» есть «back door admission”. Директор одной из школ выступая перед нами родителями так и сказал « не волнуйтесь, мы будем смотреть beyond test scores, так и произошло в итоге. Взяли в плане учебы посредственного товарища, но зато его родители - главный актив родительского комитета в школе и вообще одни из основных доноров. Может ещё кто из семьи сами там учились. Это совершенно точно для блатных сделано, чтоб потом над их результатами тестов и оценками не смеялись. Хороший пример- Буш младший:)
