Who else has a feeling this change is due to internal pressure that there aren't enough domestic applicants that can make the grades?
Gotta have some way to fight back against "Chi-com" influence

The alternatives is yipee now we can accept more sons of billionaires and politicians without giving a fuck (relatively) more objective metrics.
All of the University of California schools have already gotten rid of using standardized testing for admission.
University of California has a hard cut-off grades for if I'm not mistaken. You have a certain gpa, no matter which school, you get in. I doubt this will happen with the rich private schools.
I don't think that's true. If you have a GPA above a certain value and you're a California high school student, you get guaranteed admission to a UC, but they don't throw your application out just because your GPA is below X.
This is especially true for the less-prestigious schools like Merced.
I guess I meant it would work more favorably for students in the other direction. If you have certain grades you're guaranteed to get in to Berkeley or w/e no matter how rich or poor or prestigious your high school is. Not sure if I'm right though.
Like I said, you get guaranteed admission to a UC, but not necessarily Berkeley.
I believe in Texas if you're in the top 5% of your class (in Texas) you get guaranteed admission to UT-Austin.
At least, that's how it was in 2008 when I was applying to college.

I think they might mean Lewis Terman who created the first US IQ test, the Stanford-Binet. He was a prominent eugenicist.
