Do employers actually care about GPA and SAT scores? Obviously some of the things are there just to troll, but is that something they actually care about?

I actually did an interview at the age of about 30 where HR wanted to know my ACT score, and what wage I made at my teenager-job when I was 16. I don't know that they cared (I got the job anyway), but it was bizarre to be pressed on that.

My last job called people’s high school to verify you graduated and would fire you if the school didn’t verify or didn’t exist anymore. Something like 60% of high schools refused any information, including if you even attended. Probably because my previous employer sold competing products those schools used.
I had to sign a release form for this shortly after I was hired.

Interesting. I never took the SAT/ACT and have yet to obtain a degree so I'd never even but a second of thought into it. Looks like someone cared at one point though!
