<p>This issue has been around for a long time (i.e, years). I think the problem is what does it do to the weight of grades (GPA). Read the threads on grades for those issues. It is the battle between being less subjective and more subjective, each has good and bad points, each eliminates good canidates and lets less worthy get in. Until there is a clear solution, I would not think these are going away soon.</p>
