NC A&T has an average SAT score on par with any random flyover college. Yet I don't see any tech recruiters making the trip out to Bemidji State. The fact is that students at HBCUs are significantly advantaged in recruiting compared to any comparable college.
I don't see how SAT scores would indicate the level of engineering talent at a school in any way. There in plenty of racial bias in standardized testing.
This statement is exactly the sort of attitude that needs to be thrown out the window if we want to make real progress addressing the racial gap in tech.
"I don't see how SAT scores would indicate the level of engineering talent at a school in any way"
Inability to figure out why IQ might be correlative with engineering ability (as it is with practically any performance measure you can name, reified by over 100 years of exhaustive data) is indicative of a failing of reasoning on your part, not a problem with the argument.
I do agree with you that in order to address the "racial gap" in tech we would have to ignore most metrics that would predict tech aptitude.
