I thought the SAT was sexist and racist, and was skewed towards "middle-class" americans? I think it's great that some colleges are no longer using SAT results to screen applicants...

When I went to college, the SAT was harder (my opinion), a dozen years ago (or so) they monkeyed with the math and gave everyone another 200 points towards the 1600 possible points, send everyones scores higher, and I'm sure, making kids "feel" smarter...
