I agree - the logic is bizarre. However you have a State like Texas that has a law where anyone in the top 10% of their HS class is admitted to the Texas College or University of their choice. I guess it doesn’t matter if a student who is 15/100 at a rigorous HS is denied but a 5/100 student from a stress free low quality school is admitted.

Unfortunately, in order to be politically and socially correct, many other private and public institutions are following the same model.
