These aren’t existing alternative admissions criteria, they are existing additional admissions criteria. Are the people that propose eliminating the SAT actually suggesting that it be replaced by such things? Otherwise it’s a straw man argument...

I think that it is a real, nonstrawmannish phenomenon that people are focussing criticism on the SAT for being biased but ignoring other admissions requirements such as personal essays and extracurricular activities that seem to be much more biased by socioeconomic status.

A bit of a straw man here: people advocating getting rid of admissions tests don’t want more crappy essay questions. Rather, select students on the basis of GPA or class rank. That has worked well at many colleges that have gone test optional.

Think there’s a scenario that is not uncommon in the US where an underprivileged kid dominates standardized testing and that becomes the impetus to apply to elite colleges. Removing the SAT and keeping preferential admissions for stereotypically “rich elite sports” is nuts.
