    It hurts the few legit ones that could go there without special admissions.

    Commentary: What’s less fair than the SAT? You might be surprised

    The University of California is rightly concerned about making its student application process as equitable as possible, yet it’s clinging to part of the application that clearly benefits wealthy students.

    What UC inexplicably is holding on to, though, is the essay portion of its application, even though a 2021 report from Stanford University found that high-quality essays for UC applicants were even more tightly correlated with family income than the standardized tests.

    A lot of the manipulations that have been pulled in the name of diversity and equity have ended up backfiring and making the disparate outcomes worse.
