I agree, I think GPA is more important - but with so many 4.0 students applying, there needs to be another factor. I guess things like essays, extracurriculars, and recommendations are also telling - however, all of these things are unverifiable, unlike SATs. Its a Catch 22.

Luckily, after senior year of high school, you don’t have to worry about standardized tests…I wish. Blah. The worst part is, MCATs, LSATs, and other standardized tests for college students are relied on even MORE heavily than the SATs are for undergrad admission. Don’t even get me started about studying for the Series 7, which is brutal for bad test takers.
