Lauren Cook of the Western Assn. for College Admission Counseling suggests researching a school’s average SAT scores to help decide whether to submit them. But McGee, at Downtown Magnets, said she encourages her students to submit scores below the average because colleges do use nuance and context in evaluating them.
“Students should submit all of the pieces of the application that they believe speak to who they are,” he said. “If you are proud of your test score, no matter what that score is, you should submit it. Admission officers are much more interested in students’ showcasing their excellence both in and outside of the classroom rather than those seeking perfection on standardized tests.”
UC admissions experts say application readers will be trained to avoid negative judgments about students who don’t submit scores. But “people bring their own story” to admissions work, he said, invariably leading to biases that must be recognized and neutralized through training. And those biases can vary widely.One application reader at a campus Pérez declined to name didn’t much like cheerleaders so passed their applications to others to handle.
Finally. These standardized tests have always discriminated against dumber students. Now UC can rely on the 'unbiased' opinion of teachers. Parents, don't forget to give an extra nice Christmas 'pre$ent' to your kid's teachers this year.
Good for these competitive students.

'We're removing a measurement of academic skill and intelligence so we can quietly admit unqualified minorities.'
