MIT to no longer consider SAT subject tests in admissions decisions

My school had a deal where when you signed up for an AP class you had to take the AP test. But if you pass the AP test (3 or higher) the school would reimburse you. I took 5 tests and never paid for one. Including the one where we didn't have a teacher for half a year (long story).

I think this is the fairest way to do it. If you got talent but no money, the opportunity is still there.

This just drives home the unfairness though.

You had a school that was willing to pony up this money. That is not universally true.
