Candidate Sparks Discussion on College Admissions Reform with Physical Fitness SAT Proposal
Explore an innovative proposal by Republican Presidential Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, suggesting the addition of a physical fitness section to the SAT amidst evolving college admissions debates. As colleges seek to balance merit and diversity post the Supreme Court's affirmative action decision, Ramaswamy's idea resonates: 'Now that the Supreme Court finally ended affirmative action, colleges will only further deprioritize SAT scores in favor of subjective factors due to large racial disparities in test results.' This unconventional approach opens doors to holistic evaluation, potentially addressing mental health concerns while showcasing the power of grassroots solutions.
