In other words, if you're from a shitty high school (or even a "best in the county" high school, if it's a unexceptional county) you're shit out of luck - because now the admissions officers will just reject everyone from that school out of hand, no matter their grades.

Objective standards can really help people without the connections to succeed otherwise.

That's the literal goal of the SAT. A standardized test across all schools.
