Adem\u00e1s, la inflaci\u00f3n desmedida de las notas ha disminuido su significado. Por lo tanto, los resultados de los ex\u00e1menes se convierten en indicadores m\u00e1s confiables y ofrecen una se\u00f1al de mayor importancia a la que las universidades pueden acceder al buscar la combinaci\u00f3n acad\u00e9mica m\u00e1s adecuada entre los estudiantes y el nivel de rigor acad\u00e9mico.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1b41bd6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1b41bd6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-54dd4fe\" data-id=\"54dd4fe\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-12fc56b animated-slow elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"12fc56b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Entrevistador:<\/strong><\/span> \u00bfQu\u00e9 me podr\u00eda decir acerca de las afirmaciones que he visto sobre que hay un cierto sesgo cultural en estos ex\u00e1menes estandarizados, y que por cierto, perjudican a los estudiantes que provienen de familias menos afortunadas?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d3f4811 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d3f4811\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8687543\" data-id=\"8687543\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c8739b3 animated-slow elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c8739b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>M.K.:<\/strong><\/span> S\u00ed, hay un par de aspectos acerca de esto. En primer lugar, los investigadores han observado que los puntajes de los ex\u00e1menes son muy predictivos sobre el rendimiento acad\u00e9mico en la universidad para estudiantes de diferentes or\u00edgenes. Y eso contrarresta la idea de que no es \u00fatil para los estudiantes de entornos menos favorecidos o que est\u00e1 sesgado en su contra.<\/p><p>El segundo aspecto es de suma importancia ya que los oficiales de las admisiones universitarias no consideran los puntajes de los ex\u00e1menes estandarizados ambiguamente. Son muy abiertos y transparentes sobre el hecho de que los eval\u00faan en contexto. La vara de medida para lo que se considerar\u00eda una puntuaci\u00f3n excelente es m\u00e1s alta para los estudiantes que provienen de entornos m\u00e1s privilegiados que para los menos favorecidos.

El informe que publicaron en Dartmouth sobre el motivo para volver a requerir los ex\u00e1menes es muy claro al respecto. En este sentido, utilizan el ejemplo de un estudiante de un entorno privilegiado, con una familia de ingresos altos, de un colegio que env\u00eda a muchos estudiantes a universidades selectivas. Un resultado de 1400 de SAT no habr\u00eda ayudado a dicho estudiante para ser admitido en Dartmouth. Mientras que para un estudiante como el que mencionaste de Yonkers, 1400 habr\u00eda sido de mucha utilidad para obtener la admisi\u00f3n.<\/p><p>El problema era que, cuando las universidades establecieron que los ex\u00e1menes fueran opcionales, los estudiantes de diferentes or\u00edgenes podr\u00edan tender a no presentar un resultado de 1400, presumiblemente porque los chicos de entornos menos favorecidos no tienen acceso a asesores universitarios expertos que conozcan bien el funcionamiento y que les habr\u00edan aconsejado: esta puntuaci\u00f3n te ser\u00e1 \u00fatil, ya que no te van a comparar con el promedio o la distribuci\u00f3n general.<\/p><p>Y en consecuencia, los estudiantes que resultaron m\u00e1s perjudicados al dejar de exigir el resultado de los ex\u00e1menes fueron aquellos de alto rendimiento que proced\u00edan de entornos menos favorecidos.

Por ejemplo, el sistema universitario de California todav\u00eda no toma en cuenta los resultados de los ex\u00e1menes, y aquellos que defienden esta postura han se\u00f1alado que esas universidades est\u00e1n matriculando actualmente a m\u00e1s estudiantes de grupos minoritarios provenientes de los entornos menos favorecidos.

No queremos descartar indicadores de calidad sobre la adecuaci\u00f3n y luego encontrarnos con estudiantes en desventaja al llegar a la universidad. Tu trabajo ha demostrado que muchos estudiantes requieren m\u00faltiples sistemas de apoyo, y deseas asegurarte de que est\u00e9n recibiendo una atenci\u00f3n adecuada en los campus en los que se encuentran. Este es un problema distinto.<\/p><p>Y de hecho, hay una cuesti\u00f3n relacionada aqu\u00ed, que es el hecho de que los estudiantes de diferentes or\u00edgenes tienen diferentes niveles de preparaci\u00f3n acad\u00e9mica a los 18 a\u00f1os. No se puede culpar de ello a los puntajes de los ex\u00e1menes estandarizados. Es un reflejo de la desigualdad generalizada y de las brechas de clase en oportunidades, colegios, procedencia familiar y todo tipo de factores que influyen en la probabilidad de que un estudiante de 18 a\u00f1os tenga \u00e9xito en la universidad. Por tanto, desechar los indicadores que nos muestran estas brechas no significa que no existan.

Las ocho universidades Ivy League combinadas atienden a menos del 1% de los 10,8 millones de estudiantes matriculados en instituciones de cuatro a\u00f1os en este pa\u00eds.

First, researchers who have looked for this find that the test scores are very predictive of academic performance in college for students from different backgrounds. And so that counters the idea that it\u2019s not helpful for students from less advantaged backgrounds or it\u2019s biased against them.<\/p><p>The second really important fact here is that college admissions officers don\u2019t consider standardized test scores in a vacuum. They\u2019re very open and transparent about the fact that they evaluate these in the context. The bar for what would be considered an impressive score is higher for students coming from more advantaged backgrounds than less advantaged backgrounds. And so that\u2019s really important to realize that admissions officers are contextualizing the scores when they\u2019re submitted.<\/p><p>And by the way, this is why the move to test optional or test blind made it particularly difficult for kids from less advantaged backgrounds to signal to more academically rigorous schools that they were prepared. It\u2019s actually a particularly important signal for kids from less advantaged backgrounds to be able to deliver to university or college admissions officers who might not know their high school very well, for instance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e658433 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e658433\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e3a76cf\" data-id=\"e3a76cf\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9d0d57b animated-slow elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9d0d57b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Interviewer:<\/strong> <\/span>Yeah. So there are various advantages people coming from families that have more wealth have. But one of them is this incredible industry that\u2019s grown up around preparing for the SAT \/ ACT. And I\u2019ll just go from my personal experiences. You know, I\u2019m involved in a charity in Yonkers helping the public school system. You go across the border to Bronxville.

But admissions officers are aware of that. So what they would see from a kid coming from Yonkers who likely doesn\u2019t have access to that kind of tutoring or preparation, really, they\u2019re not going to evaluate the scores the same. The report coming out of Dartmouth about why they\u2019re going back to requiring test is very clear on this. So they use the example of a student from an advantaged background, a high income family, a school that sends a lot of kids to selective schools. A 1400 on the SAT would not have helped that student gained admission to Dartmouth. But for a student like your student from that you brought up from Yonkers, 1400 would have been very helpful to them in earning admission.<\/p><p>The problem is, when the schools went test optional, kids from different backgrounds were equally likely to withhold a score of 1400, presumably because kids from less advantaged backgrounds don\u2019t have access to the savvy college counselors who are more attuned to how the game is played and would have told them, know this score is helpful for you, you\u2019re not being compared to the overall average or distribution.<\/p><p>And so that\u2019s why the kids who were most harmed by the elimination of the test score requirement were really high achieving kids from less advantaged backgrounds. And that\u2019s a big part of the reason that schools like Dartmouth and Brown and MIT and Yale are saying they\u2019re going back to requiring these tests.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3f60f18 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3f60f18\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7123074\" data-id=\"7123074\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58fa9e2 animated-slow elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"58fa9e2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Interviewer:<\/strong><\/span> Certainly, getting the right student in the right college is a starting point, but it\u2019s not the ending point.

So, for instance, the University of California school system is still test blind, and people who are championing that have pointed out that those schools are now enrolling more students from underrepresented minority groups, less advantaged backgrounds. But the problem is, if that access is coming at a cost of less academic match.<\/p><p>And so you\u2019re bringing in students who are less likely to thrive and you\u2019re undermining the match between the academic preparations of a student and the academic rigor of a particular campus.<\/p><p>So getting the match right is critically important. We don\u2019t want to throw out signals of the match quality and then students who are disadvantaged when they get to college. Your work has shown that a lot of students need a lot of support systems and you want to be able to make sure that students are being well-served by the campuses they\u2019re at. That\u2019s a different problem.<\/p><p>And by the way, there\u2019s a related problem here, which is the fact that students from different backgrounds have different levels of academic preparation by the time they\u2019re 18. That\u2019s not the fault of standardized test scores. That is a reflection of rampant inequality and class gaps in opportunities and schools and family background and all sorts of things that affect a student\u2019s likelihood of excelling in college when they\u2019re 18. And so, again, throwing out the metrics that show us these gaps exist don\u2019t mean the gaps don\u2019t exist.

All of the media emphasis and even our public leaders talk about what\u2019s happening in admissions at these private elite schools. The Ivy League, all eight schools combined serve less than 1% of the 10.8 million students enrolled in four year institutions in this country. So whatever these schools are doing in admissions, whether it comes to their testing regime or legacy admissions, is really not that material to the story of higher education in this country.<\/p><p>I mean, it\u2019s very frustrating to me how much attention we give these schools, given that the flagship universities, the University of Michigan, University of Maryland, the SUNY system, the CUNY system, they serve so many more students than all of the Ivies put together. But here\u2019s another way to look at this. Over the past 30 years, our country has produced a million more four year college degree holders than in 1990. So we went from just over a million to just over 2 million. Do you know how many degrees were granted by the Ivies combined? An additional 3500. <br \/>So when it comes to expanding access to higher education, the story is just not at the elite private schools. And so we need to be talking about what\u2019s happening at the State schools, the public schools, their lack of funding. That\u2019s where the real story is.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7b92167 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7b92167\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-481b9da\" data-id=\"481b9da\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fea9e99 animated-slow elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fea9e99\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>Interviewer:<\/strong><\/span> And finally, Melissa, we just had a new budget proposed by the federal government. You spend a lot of time looking at that. I know you\u2019re concerned about the deficit and the debt that we\u2019re building up. At the same time, what did you see in that budget, if anything, that could help this problem of really making sure we\u2019re supporting kids coming from less fortunate families?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-668fe46 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"668fe46\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d4dd505\" data-id=\"d4dd505\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-707ddd8 animated-slow elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"707ddd8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInLeft&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>M.K.:<\/strong><\/span> What I would have liked to see in the budget is a much bigger allocation of funding towards spending on kids, towards spending on less advantaged groups. I mean, we spend more on interest on the debt at this point than we do on all federal programs aimed at children. If we want to equip more students to be in a position to thrive in college, if we want to close class gaps to build up our workforce, we need to be shifting the budget not just away from deficit spending and interest payments, but really to have a more dedicated focus on forward looking investments. And that means in kids and younger generation in this country. That\u2019s what I would have liked to have seen in the budget.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DON\u2019T READ THIS!
