i don't think it's that ridiculous. if i'm a recruiter for a consulting company (or any type of company), i want to know if you're smart. i can figure it out by talking to you, but that's limited by your ability to bullshit and my ability to figure it out. SAT scores can give them a little more information about you. only stupid recruiters hire based primarily on SAT scores. It's silly to say that SAT scores should have zero influence. if you were hiring and saw two identical candidates (or more realistically, two candidates that, considering everything else, you thought were equally qualified), would you choose the one with the better SAT score, or flip a coin? Asking for SAT scores only takes 5 seconds.
