> I would be pissed to find out my score was altered

As was mentioned in the article - it doesn't alter your test score.

You're splitting hairs. Their "score" just becomes whatever function the university uses to decide, and if they use it then their score would indeed be altered by the "adversity" score.

It gives you a separate score.. which is graded along with the first score.. so it effectively alters like OP implied.
