IAbout the writing below:

Currently 11 colleges and universities in Michigan have SAT optional or no SAT
required admissions policies.  The number is growing across the country.   To
find out why they have made such a *bold* move -  Check out "Test Scores Do
Not Equal Merit", FairTest, (617) 864-4810 and go to the web site
www.fairtest.org for a complete list of such colleges and universities.

As it turns out, these policies have led to more divese student applicant
pools - without hurting quality of final admissions - contrary to what ETS -
the SAT test maker - and others have argued would happen.
