The move comes amid a debate over the tests' fairness, as well as the stresses of the ongoing pandemic.

Who else has a feeling this change is due to internal pressure that there aren't enough domestic applicants that can make the grades?

Gotta have some way to fight back against "Chi-com" influence

    I guess I meant it would work more favorably for students in the other direction. If you have certain grades you're guaranteed to get in to Berkeley or w/e no matter how rich or poor or prestigious your high school is. Not sure if I'm right though.

      Like I said, you get guaranteed admission to a UC, but not necessarily Berkeley.

      I believe in Texas if you're in the top 5% of your class (in Texas) you get guaranteed admission to UT-Austin.

      At least, that's how it was in 2008 when I was applying to college.
