anyone who graduated from
high school, took the SAT and
had the ability to scrape up
enough money to pay tuition
can attend USC. If anything, a
step in the right direction
would be denying admission to
people who have SAT scores
below 1000 (or any portion
lower than 500). If you’re
incapable of scoring near a
minimum of 500 for the verbal
or the math portion of the SAT,
then you have no business at
anyone’s university.
I’d really like to know what
Dennis Pruitt was alluding to
that would be more indicative
of what students know and will
create “a leveler playing field.”
Surely GPAs alone can’t be
used to assess knowledge.
Anyone can take the easiest
courses offered and obtain a.
respectable GPA. Likewise,
fully capable students might
not work up to their potential in
high school. Dropping the SAT
requirement would only
obliterate an already level
playing field. What other test has
the ability show someone’s
capabilities as well — an IQ test?
And on a final note, to Pruitt,
lowering the SAT score admits
blacks as well as whites. I’m a
black male who scored in the
83rd percentile, which included
hundreds of thousands of whites
who took the test the same day.

die. In fact, you can get odds and
place a bet on nearly anything.
Example (that I’m not making
up): Odds are favoring that a
member of the Backstreet Boys
will come out of the closet by the
end of the year. I’ll take that bet.
In summary, I would
recommend that each American
fry to visit England for an
extended period. You will feel
cool until it’s pointed out that
you don’t know who the Prime
Minister is. Maybe you
disagree, but I’m not wrong.
