SAT almost never misses genius. Chances are much more likely that genius will be excluded because of political or social favoritism like affirmative action,(reply>), @AdrienLegendre haha, good try! Affirmative action means giving favored races a huge boost, or throwing out requirements completely, so that people from favored races get privileges over more-qualified people from disfavored races.,(reply>), You misunderstand.  Affirmative action begins by identifying a group of people who all meet satisfactory criteria.  Next, identify additional qualities that may lead to a more diverse group of people.  This is a fair system.
