No SAT or ACT required at Harvard through 2026! Seems like a watershed, transition from a system that combines meritocracy and politics to one completely political. Hopeful this pushes the competent away from education and toward the market. Exciting. washingtonpost.com/education/2021…
“Their applications will be considered on the basis of what they have presented, and they are encouraged to send whatever materials they believe would convey their accomplishments in secondary school and their promise for the future.” Send whatever you feel like, what a system! 
“More than 90 percent of schools on U.S. News & World Report lists of top 100 liberal arts colleges and top 100 universities nationwide are not requiring scores for admission this year.”
“Both exams last about three hours. Generations of students have dreaded them. Now, in a test-optional world, many are feeling more empowered.” LMAO
Cornell: “Well-trained readers are able to discern a lot about students’ academic readiness without the extra validation of the test.” I’m sure they’re familiar with grading practices in every subject in every high school in the country. It’s fake expertise all the way down.
I've noticed people saying "Harvard will always be Harvard" come more out of academia, and those with think disruption is possible come more from tech and the private sector. It's true that fields like education and gov are static, but there is a dynamic world out there.
