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

This is true though I also don't think optimizing for college success re: attributes of applicants is good to emphasize. We should be, collectively, making students who are "unlikely" to succeed and explicitly admit + support them because clearly society has failed them.
Being "likely" to succeed is generally a proxy for political economic advantage and social marginalization.
Success in college is also weakly correlated with success in the labor market too. Since upward class mobility is fiction in this country, and the school system doesn't help us succeed, then wtf are we doing? Hell, even subsidized preschool that focus on school readiness instead of childhood wellbeing has been found to decrease cognitive ability in children.
