SAT Adversity Score

This is one of the big communication failures by CB. The now-defunct Adversity score was based on publicly available information - demographics of your neighborhood, based on your address and your school’s address. There was zero personal/family information. Read the press releases from today - the new dashboard is all census and government info (income, crime rates, poverty rates, etc.). The adversity score just combined this into a single number, which has now been dropped.

IMO, none of this is anything top schools didn’t do already. A few college tours that I attended, confirmed this. AO’s said it would be nice to take the workload of compiling the info off their plates, but no new data was provided in the pilot program.
