^ Isn’t the problem here the opposite of high school transcripts? By that I mean that many schools (outside of the tippy-top schools) are becoming more “European” in their admissions and are focusing more on more objectively graded exams (SATs, APs, IB, A Levels etc) to judge academic achievement rather than depend on transcripts which can differ greatly from school to school? Maybe the solution is the opposite and make AP and SAT exams more difficult so a 5 on an AP exam or an 800 on an SAT Subject test become much harder to achieve?
