    New York Times calls University of California's 'test-blind' admissions policy a 'terrible' mistake

    The New York Times Editorial Board criticized the University of California's 'test-blind' admissions policy, calling it a 'terrible' mistake that reduced student preparedness. The UC system, despite a 2019 task force finding test scores predict academic success, adopted the policy in 2020. A 2023 UC San Diego report showed 12% of first-year students were unprepared for pre-calculus, up from 0.5% in 2020.
