“Simply put, students with higher test scores have been more likely to have higher Yale GPAs and test scores are the single greatest predictor of a student’s performance in Yale courses in every model we have constructed,” Quinlan said.
They are reinstituting the requirement for SAT or ACT scores for newly-admitted and transfer students. In addition, they will also accept AP or IB test scores for admissions purposes.
Duh, duh, duh!

Oh boy
This flies directly in the face of Democrat Party dogma.

This is still somehow racist.

SAT and ACT are nothing but disguised IQ tests. It has been known for at least 50 years among psychologists that IQ is the greatest predictor of life outcomes. From college grades, to salary, to performance at work, to a lack of criminality, to physical health and longevity.
Hernstein and Murray pointed this out in "The Bell Curve" back in the early 90's. Jordan Peterson has covered the topic in more recent years in some of his talks.
Of course, there are exceptions. There are intelligent criminals and high IQ people on welfare. But, they are outliers and not the norm.
Of course it makes sense the Ivies want high scorers on standardized tests. They have the best chance of actually graduating.

I thought I was told standardized tests were racist?
