Israel tried to abolish the SAT and went back within a year. They found that GPAs are far more discriminatory than SATs due to private tutoring that can last for years and school quality differences.

Now more kids will be padding their "resumes" with more ridiculous extra curricular accomplishments to differentiate, which will require money. Surely some parent whose super smart kid that aced the SAT for other schools but didn't get into first choice Berkeley will sue?

Good luck to immigrant families w. 0 connections and r English learners themselves. CAEDU should be investing in programs for English learners from pre-K. Imagine learning math concepts w/out basic literacy. CA Edu found a way to mask their incompetence.https://edsource.org/2021/california-still-lags-in-helping-long-term-english-learners/662919 …

I feel like people are significantly underestimating the amount of grade inflation that has happened over the last 20 years. People with GPAs over 5 on a 4 point scale are relatively common at the top
