The Impact of the Revamped SAT on Admissions Policies Among Western Land Grant Institutions
Choroszy, Melisa N.; Muehlberg, Jessica
College and University, v81 n2 p51-52 Fall 2006
The newly revamped Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) was administered for the first time in March 2005. Administrators, faculty, and staff in colleges and universities throughout the country were asking the same questions as students: "What was this new score of 2400 and what would it mean for them in terms of admissions, scholarships, and course placements?" As a result of this concern, the Western land grant colleges and universities were surveyed to determine the impact of the new SAT. This article discusses the results of that survey and recommends a follow-up of this research be conducted in 2006 to assess the impact of the new SAT in both admissions and English placement.
