Agree - very credible research suggests GPA is x5 times more important than test scores in predicting future college success.

Yes--that is why most schools will remain TO or go test blind.  WPI was well on the way to test blind then covid hit.  They started the process in 2007 and went TB for fall 2022 admissions.  They have long recognized that GPA is a better indicator.  Their avg GPA is over 3.89 UW. They are a STEM school.  They recognize the tests and all the test prep only benefits wealthy students and want to provide a great stem education to everyone.    They also have figured out how to increase number of women fairly well.  Working towards 50/50 actively for over a decade.

So maybe MIT thinks they need the SAT math score but outside of a few tippy top schools, most have determined GPA and academic rigor gives them all they need to know[/quote]
