Either people are stupid to know or too evil to pretend not to know that the more complex a rule is, the easier it is to game it. So it is much easier for the wealthy to game the essay writing or whatever that "holistic admission". Besides, SAT is a filter. SAT is objectively easy compared to the college entrance exams in other countries. Those who do well in SAT may not do well in school, but those who do badly in SAT or CAT are certainly academically inept, at least probabilistically. Of course, there are some corner cases, such as for the unfortunately students in those miserable Baltimore schools, where the median GPA is 0.5 (or 1.5?). It's so sad that the US got into this Animal Farm shit, and far too many people cheered for it.
