So it’s no wonder that private schools in ultra-competitive environments would grease the qualifying process as much as possible. What SAT tutoring does is it invisibly alters the admissions pool so a school could try to be as egalitarian as they can, but if a student is SAT-tutored, and their score goes up 200 points in a year, and the college admissions committee has no idea that the student got tutored, all of a sudden it’s shifting the pool back toward old money.
