But they did, which is why they're pushing this. No SAT means we can ignore the inconvenient truth that academic excellence is not a "social construct". No SAT means millionaires and celebrities can buy their kids a spot at prestigious Colleges. (That these Colleges won't remain prestigious for long, doesn't seem to matter)
I assume what will happen is that those secondary schools will end up being ranked in order to determine the true gpa. Similarly how a degree from Harvard is worth more than other state schools.
If they wanted "true GPA", they wouldn't have been messing around with the SAT scores by adding "geographic modifiers" depending on income level, crime, etc. I guarantee you that they won't do any kind of ranking. They would face massive backlash for "discrimination of high poverty schools". In fact, they will justify the grade inflation as a marker of relative effort.
GPA is a notoriously poor measure. Studies have shown poorer schools will inflate grades.
