Hey @CollegeBoard - get your s&$* together. Your email today is absurd. Not our problem - you need to deal with your lack of proper planning and platform testing. You need us more than we need you.

#College Board shows standard monopolist customer service in botched March #SAT. Program submitted math section before students finished. CB let kids cancel whole score but not keep unaffected verbal. CB needs to be regulated as a utility or broken up. ow.ly/5kFG50VfbMw

College Board screws up the technology, then screws up the solution. As they do.
These are the people who get to decide which high school graduates are "smart."

Since reintroducing the SAT requirement, The Yale EA admission rate is rising so fast it will be close to 100% in just 12 years if it continues on this trajectory.
That should help them find more students of color, for sure.
