Test scores are not irrelevant
Test scores have already been irrelevant for certain segments for over a decade, speaking as someone of East Asian ethnicity.
 Personal anecdote: 3.7 GPA in average high school with 8 APs (some of which were self-study), 2400 SAT, 36 ACT, lots of state-level top 3 finishes in multiple academic competitions, varsity track, musical instruments, first generation immigrant, etc.<p>Ended up going to what I thought was my safety school and rejected&#x2F;waitlisted at every reach school I applied to. I sometimes wish colleges mandated name&#x2F;ethnicity-blind application reviews - not to sound ungrateful, but I’m still incredulous to this day that the best I could do was a public state school (still top 50 admittedly).<p>It ended up being a great experience in that it was a forcing function and made me realize most of these rules and expectations around admissions were meaningless. But I probably could have saved years in high school exploring things that mattered rather than optimizing for a college application process that didn’t ultimately end up feeling very fair.
