"cuz their ideas and supports are all exactly the same: they think there's something more to scores and grades. and my answer is the same: asian students do just as well. I'm just trying to see if anyone has any real answers"
I don't know very much about the Chinese University system, other than the engineers I've met here in the US that graduated from there are often very, very smart. So, let's for a moment assume that the Chinese University works just as well.
I suspect the reason you don't see universities here in America that only look at grades and test scores and then take those that do the absolute best is not enough students that do very well on tests and grades are interested in going to that type of school here. They all want to go to HYPSM. I also suspect if, say, Harvard were to switch to basing all admissions on test scores and grades alone it's prestige factor would drop like a rock.
