Stanford University WILL Require the ACT or SAT Again! 

Another informative video - your candor about everything college related is very refreshing. You were spot on in all the videos from last week. And you are the only one I've seen who speaks candidly about the state of affairs. I could relate to all your videos of last week and you had me chuckling in the comedy of all of this at the same time!

hi sir.. really loving your guide videos but it would be very much beneficial if you could make a guide on how to fill up the extra carricular and honors section's description in the common app plss

Hello Craig, Last week you stated the current SAT is a watered down version of the test we took 20 - 30 years ago. I am a proponent of using the SAT but if it is weak sauce, what is its use? My son received a 1440 on his March SAT (all self study) but because he goes to a Specialized high school in NYC he was depressed with the results. Even though he is an outstanding student with good extra curriculars, he believes he needs to retake the SAT. I think the SAT has an out-sized effect on college admissions process when students believe a 1440 is not a good score. Also, please explain why you have a problem with a kid, from a school that does not promote academic excellency, like specialize high schools, getting a boost on their application when they take the most rigorous classes and scores well on the SAT/ACT? Should not their grit in the face of academic headwinds based on the school they are attending count towards their continued grit in the future? This is not a personal biased since my child goes to a specialized school in NYC.
