#2 - Even if it were true, it would be immaterial. A student who scores a 2300 on the SATs is not “less qualified” than someone who scores a 2400. They are equally qualified. They have both cleared the break point, and thus, when making decisions about “qualifications”, we look elsewhere for dispositive data.
