With the digitization of the SAT, College Board finalizes its own suicide

Put yourself in the position of an honest college admissions adviser. How do you choose between applicants in a way that is genuinely fair?

Rich students can always rig the game with highly paid advisers who ghostwrite their personal essays. High schools often manipulate the college admissions process through grade inflation. But the SAT, the SAT subject tests, and the Advanced Placement courses were, by definition, standardized. Whatever their faults, they provided a metric that measured all test takers fairly.
