Taking Standardized Test Scores Out of College Admissions While most four-year colleges and universities in the United States require students to submit standardized test scores in order to be considered for admission, a growing number of institutions are making this part of the application optional. Opponents of standardized testing assert that these scores do not fairly represent a student's skills. In fact, studies analyzing cumulative GPAs and graduation rates have shown few significant differences in these indicators of academic success between students who submit standardized test scores and those who do not. Making standardized test scores optional in the admissions process has created a more diverse student population, as students who choose not to submit these scores are more likely to be minorities, first-generation college students, women, and students with learning disabilities. Proponents argue that a better indicator of students' potential in postsecondary education is their performance in high school. Students who can demonstrate a pattern of diligence, focus, and inquisitiveness in high school are most likely to be successful in a four-year college or university.

Maya: Given the growing emphasis on the importance of proper nutrition, students should be allowed to leave school for lunch. The US Center for Disease Control, the CDC, has stated that hunger is a factor in poor performance in school. By allowing students to leave campus, the school is giving students more opportunities to eat a good lunch. This will, in turn, lead to better overall academic performance among students. Ori: Students should not be allowed to leave school for lunch because they have a better chance of eating a healthy, balanced meal at school. While the CDC has mentioned the impact of hunger on students, the CDC has also stated that unhealthy eating is linked to lower grades and test scores. If students leave school for lunch, there's no guarantee that they will eat something healthy, or that they will eat lunch at all. If students leave school at lunch, their school performance will suffer. Which statement provides evidence for the affirmative claim?
