I'm on board with most of these ideas except minimum GPA & high school academic record. A GPA varies by school, private, public, etc. kids in disadvantaged situations often have less support & less extra curricular opportunities. Also less opportunity for AP/IB which i think some colleges use as a GPA 'bump' I did find research that shows the correlation to college GPA and high school GPA is way more than ACT. research says ACT doesn't predict success (defined as college GPA). But that's part of my point in that GPA in college doesn't mean a ton from my perspective and doesn't factor in a bunch of way more important things like social, leadership, and the connections you can make by being born into it or ideally new opportunities from college that you couldn't get growing up. in terms of strict future earning there is also research to back this up. The 2nd link says even IQ was only 1-2% bump in $. I would guess that colleges and banks that use that type of strict minimum standard score would tend to discriminate against bright kids in difficult circumstances. Similar to not lending in D zip codes, which tended to be black (funny how that grade aligns). https://www.k12dive.com/news/high-school-gpa-5-times-more-likely-to-predict-college-success-than-act-sco/571287/ https://www.k12dive.com/news/high-school-gpa-5-times-more-li... https://www.forbes.com/sites/theyec/2020/10/19/do-college-grades-predict-future-success/?sh=38581b875af6 https://www.forbes.com/sites/theyec/2020/10/19/do-college-gr...
