Most Asian Americans think it's fair to consider SAT scores — but not race or ethnicity — in college admission, according to a study that comes as several universities have restored standardized testing requirements for first-year applicants.
Most Asian American adults support use of the SAT and other standardized testing, along with high school grades, in college admission decisions but reject considering race or ethnicity to determine access, according to a new national survey released Wednesday.
Asian Americans, however, are significantly more likely to believe the neighborhoods they live in are important to educational success — 62%, compared with 49% of all Americans. Ramakrishnan said research has shown that AAPI families are more willing to move to areas with good schools even if it means living in worse housing. Asian American support for standardized testing comes as several elite universities have restored those requirements for admissions after pausing them during the pandemic.
