Yes. The colleges looking for math talent may increasingly rely on scores in contests such as the AMC. The SAT is being revamped in part to reduce class and race score gaps (supposedly due to test prep), but how many "disadvantaged" students, relative to "privileged" ones, have *heard* of the AMC? In what kinds of schools is it offered? The SAT is a lightning rod, and if it is dumbed down for political reasons, selective colleges will look at a range of other metrics. This increases the complexity of the admissions process and benefits the children of Tiger Parents. So be it.
