I've looked at various ones over the years. I even still have the reference for at least one (that shows a negative correlation between ACT SR+R:M+E ratio and success in college, and recommends that colleges should select against such ACT composite scores). I just wanted to also read whatever papers or articles you were thinking of. I also know that, all else held equal, super-intelligence starts to show a negative correlation with success in college if the super-intelligent individual is curricularly mainstreamed in pre-college school. So the correlation with intelligence, at least, does break down in various cases. I'm sure it does with conscientiousness as well. Whether this is at the level of admissions? I know that selective schools tend to pass on students who score wildly above their average, because the student is less likely to attend if accepted (and for college rankings purposes this looks bad).
