摘要
我研究了加利福尼亚大学的学生特征和学业成绩,该校自 1996 年起禁止考虑申请者的种族,在 2021 年秋季之前,录取学生时使用 SAT 分数。我的研究结果如下(1) 在预测大学一年级的 GPA 方面,SAT 分数比高中成绩更重要;(2) 在决定录取时,单独使用 SAT 分数或与高中成绩一起使用,都偏向于录取代表人数不足的少数族裔和社会经济状况不佳的学生;(3) 与白人和/或来自高收入家庭的学生相比,SAT 分数在预测代表性不足的少数族裔和/或来自低收入家庭的学生的 GPA 方面更重要,而高中成绩则不那么重要;以及 (4) 加利福尼亚大学想方设法录取了大量代表性不足的少数族裔,尽管其中许多人的 SAT 分数很低。
The University of California Was Wrong to Abolish the SAT: Admissions When Affirmative Action Was Banned
I study student characteristics and academic performance at the University of California, where consideration of an applicant's ethnicity has been banned since 1996 and SAT scores were used in admitting students to the university until fall 2021. I show the following: (1) SAT scores were more important than high school grades in predicting first-year university GPA; (2) the use of SAT scores alone or with high school grades in determining admission is biased in favor of admitting underrepresented minorities and students who are socioeconomically disadvantaged; (3) SAT scores are more important and high school grades are less important in predicting GPA for underrepresented minorities and/or those students from low-income families than they are for those students who are white and/or from high-income families; and (4) the University of California found ways to admit a significant number of underrepresented minorities despite many of them having low SAT scores.
