[quote=Anonymous]Already the universities do their own calculations for GPAs since they say different high schools have different rigors and different weighting for honors and AP courses.  So in essence, GPA as given by a high school completely disappears from admission evaluations once the pseudo GPAs are computed by each university.  No university ever publishes how it transforms a high school given GPA into its own calculated GPA.  Now the universities are eliminating standardized test requirements and AP course considerations.  What is left to question or evaluate an admission committee's decision for bias and/or discrimination?

Will the universities in time eliminate GRE, MCAT, LSAT, and GMAT as well?  After all, those scores can be gamed by grinding for years by giving up well rounded (!) personal development.  May be, instead of students from other countries coming to the US for better education, they will start going to other countries that promote more objective and more transparent admission criteria, and offer better prepared student cohort.  We can then totally achieve MAGA goals.[/quote]
