Abstract

In this rejoinder, we discuss several areas of agreement as well as some noteworthy divergence in perspectives that are worth exploring further. We also note a few areas where immediate clarifications may be necessary. Next, we discuss practical solutions and challenges for improving the validity and fairness of graduate admissions. We conclude with a call for intellectual humility and openness in further advancing the field's discussions on this critical topic as well as for authenticity and persistence in effecting real changes to the system.

Keywords: bias; discrimination; fairness; graduate admissions; higher education; test; validity.
