ReplyDeleteIn my opinion;the fact that college admission would not only be based on SAT scores and such but off of past work would make admissions more difficult.Because a high school graduate may have slacked during their Freshman year but pushed hard through their last three years.If colleges look at their freshman year then they may not have the same probability to get into the college than if the colleges only looked at the SAT scores.
ReplyDeleteI kind of like this. It may be more hard work upon us, sure, but it helps on getting the kids who try and want to suceed into a good college or university. You see the person as a whole individual, and not just another resume to read. You see how they accomplished things and how they made themselves ready for the next step. Those are the ones who NEED to be in college because those people will be the leaders of our society, and we need as many intellegent individuals as we can! I agree with this process.
