I worked at a hedge fund that asked for SAT scores as part of the hiring process. They used it as a general indicator of intelligence I think. There were definitely a lot of really smart, bright people there and some definitely came from schools that weren't at all impressive. I think this was their way of recognizing bright people who didn't have the opportunity for impressive schools for whatever reason. Working there was pretty toxic, though, so maybe I'm being too charitable.
