<p>^ Well, if we take this questions philosphically, Plato is on the side of the people who support the SAT. As quoted from “The Republic” - “it is to employ a man with the ability but not the work ethic as is to employ the man with the work ethic but not the abillity” because while you can still have a chance of extracting what you need from the person with ability, you have no chance of getting what you want from the person w/o ability, no matter how much work ethic he or she has.</p>
<p>Thus, SAT > GPA. GPA = Blegh. Too unstable, uncompetitive, and every adcom realizes that. SATs are where the competition is.</p>
