Question is will any colleges of value accept such an exam?
Personal opinion ahead:
The kinds of students who take this exam over say SAT and ACT may come from environments that have less exposure to the real world. As an upstanding college I may see these people as being less adept and more risky. If I care only about money, then I could use this exam as a funnel to acquire students who don’t know any better. Many don’t realize that it isn’t only college but quality of education that matters.
The question is obvious enough to be nearly rhetorical, but for the sake of thought I’m asking it. Really, they won’t. Should things end up continuing down this road, we will have a country with a two-tier educational system.
The states known for regressive action targeting education will suffer further brain drain and the colleges within them will eventually suffer reputational damage as well.
It really is. A tech company offered me a position a few weeks back, and it all seemed great until I asked them the location. You could literally hear the sigh in the guy’s voice as he said “Texas”. I have a few friends who took positions there and bailed as soon as the RTO calls were made. It seems the attempts at making Austin a tech hub are hitting some stumbles.
