“In the wake of the college admissions scandal, our thought experiment tested whether removing legacy and social capital from the admissions equation would have a more equitable outcome,” said Anthony Carnevale, CEW’s director and the report’s lead author, said in a statement. “But a test-only admissions policy would only further privilege in the higher education system.”
