What? You are missing the point completely.
The parent comment is saying that with the SAT removal, the only hard number the admissions officers have left to use is GPA. And GPA is just as gameable, if not even moreso than SAT scores, for kids with wealthy parents.

My response was in the privilege it takes to assume hiring a tutor is trivial / affordable for generic students, not that things can be gamed by wealthy parents.
