there was a posting regarding wording that indicated age discrimination. I
was conveying another way age discrimination can be put in a job posting.
Are your SAT scores relevent to your ability to perform at a job after
you've been working for awhile? Do you still remember what they were?

The ad I was referring to wanted both GPA and SAT scores (which
discriminates on the basis of region in addition to age--midwestern schools
used ACt when I was trying to get into college)
