You seem to know very little about admissions processes. This is not a thing. Even "objective" measures have subjective components. Do you think colleges and elite prep schools take all GPAs at face value in the admissions process? Spoiler alert: they do not. There is a multiplier for every school in the US. Harvard isn't evaluating a kid with a 4.0 from Eastern high the same as one from Exeter. Exeter isn't evaluating a kid with a 4.0 from Sousa MS in DC the same as a kid with a 4.0 from Fieldston MS in NYC. In order to make an "objective" measure work they'd have to adjust DC MS GPAs. Can you just imagine the optics and uproar from the performative DC "equity" crowd when it is discovered that [GASP] BASIS's GPAs are given more weight than schools from poor black neighborhoods!
