[quote=AN][quote=bearishgurl][quote=AN][quote=bearishgurl]I vote that CA re-institute the writing portion on the SAT, ACT and TOEFL and apply the applicant’s essay/writing score to their composite score.
This is how it was done when I took the ACT … way back in the day.
This would most certainly weed out thousands of Chinese applicants, who would fail this portion miserably, causing their composite scores to plummet.
Too bad … so sad.[/quote]

So, AN, are you saying here that you don’t think the essay portion of the SAT/ACT will ever be brought back into consideration for admission into the UC/CSU?[/quote]I’m saying that Asian dominated the UC admittance as soon as they remove Affirmative Action, even with essay. If they bring back essay, Asian will still dominate the admittance %. You don’t have to look any further than at the HS level. Which group score the highest in standardize testing, have the highest GPA, etc.[/quote]Yeah, IIRC, the essay was removed in the early 2000’s?
You’re speaking of Asian Americans … who went to HS in the US and I’m talking about Chinese students who get student visas to attend university in the US. They still have to be admitted on the basis of their SAT/ACT score and even possibly TOEFL score.
