Yeah, it's not my personal opinion, but this seemed to be the reason given publicly by various universities. The thread from last week showing that "Asian" kids' SAT scores crushed "White" kids' scores in Michigan was pretty eye-opening alongside the current Supreme Court cases regarding admissions and Asians. One of my favorite opinion pieces about the SAT, from a few years ago, came from a black guy who grew up in rural Mississippi or somewhere like that. He argued that the SAT was the only thing that gave him a level playing field, where he could prove his equivalence, in college admissions against kids from elite private schools and wealthy public school districts. His position made sense to me.
