The most interesting aspect of my paradigm shift has to be the implications of test optional colleges. Studies show that when schools transition to test optional admission processes there is actually an increase in diverse applications and student body. This research is actually backed by many reliable sources such as the Princeton University research department and Wake Forest research department. Princeton University found a 3 percent increase in African American students admitted and a 10.6 percent increase in hispanic students being accepted. Wake Forest found that African American and Latino applications to the university also went up 70%. This would be interesting to look at because the data shows that test optional schools give a better chance to underrepresented minorities to enter into college and gain a higher education. The education would help them come out of poverty and help fight against any racial biases that happen within the education system. The paradigm shift critically analyzes the impact that SATs and test optional colleges have on the most disadvantaged people which is interesting because college students never really consider the negative effects that SAT and standardized testing can have. Many Penn State students and especially honors students never have had to deal with the problem of their SAT barring them from college, but analyzing the other perspective would make for an interesting TED Talk. Also showing the impact of a more diverse student body in colleges would be an interesting topic to analyze. Since not many people have heard of the idea of a creativity crisis it would be interesting to look at because it is having adverse effects on our economy without people even knowing it. There needs to be some discourse about the reform of the college admissions process, so this Ted Talk could look at that discussion under a critical light for the benefit of future students.
