"7. Get rid of the SAT and ACT. [...] Standardized-test performance is no better a predictor of college success than high school GPA, say some admissions officers." According to this false logic, we should use only one predictor in a model, because the other predictors will be less correlated to the target. As the College Board has demonstrated in studies, grades and test scores predict college GPA better than grades or test scores alone. The College Board has also shown that the SAT does not underpredict the GPAs of racial minorities. In fact it slightly overpredicts them, as discussed in "The Underperformance Problem" problem by Nieli: https://www.mindingthecampus.org/2010/09/02/the_underperformance_problem/ https://www.mindingthecampus.org/2010/09/02/the_underperform... .
