Is the SAT really that important?

I’m kind of digressing from the topic but it’s somewhat relevant to this discussion.

I saw throw in a logic section on the SAT. Some of the stupidest people get into “good” colleges.

Example 1: A girl I know didn’t even know who Osama was despite living in New York for her whole life.
Example 2: A boy I know didn’t know anything. He doubted everything he was told because he was so clueless. I don’t remember specific examples though.

However, they both had high averages and decent SAT grades (1900) and they were accepted into some of the top schools. Had they both been interviewed, I would guarantee they would have been denied.

I can’t believe that people lack so much logic. They’re like mindless zombies that just read, study, and sleep.
