My daughter took the SAT on Saturday, and it reminded me again of how mad I am at the college admissions scandal parents who tried to game the system.

When my daughter trudged off to the test center at 7:30 am, she was a nervous mess, irrationally terrified that her future will be ruined if she bombs it. But she prepped all summer, doing practice tests and trying to recall what she learned in algebra three years ago. Hopefully it’ll pay off and if not (oh joy), she can take it again in October.
