I was under the impression that the main variable we were trying to predict in admissions was collegiate academic performance. High school grades are highly correlated with collegiate academic performance. High school grades + standardized test scores taken together are even more correlated.

Found that eliminating standardized tests in admissions actually benefited Asian applicants while hurting Black applicants. No objective admissions metric will ever be perfect, but grades and standardized test scores are fairly good. I wonder how long until there's a push to eliminate high school grades as an admissions metric.
