Dr. Horse, I have to disagree. Again, we have to compare it to the current system, which right now rules out some students who might possibly be successful.

In fact, I think your story actually supports what I’m saying. If indeed SAT scores are not strong predictors of success, then this fact would naturally be detected in any data regression and hence admissions committees would learn now to rely on them as heavily as they do today. Hence, people like you would have a more likely chance of being admitted under my system, not less likely.
