Activists said ditching the test "would allow more students to be accepted into a wider range of colleges."

Mismatching students and schools only hurt minority kids.

"They're being set up to fail," says Riley. "It's not working!"

No kidding.

Every Ivy League has brought back testing, and other schools are following suit.
