Lot of schools no longer put emphasis on SAT/ACT scores. So yeah that’s basically what they did.

The ironic thing is that standardized tests are the most objective metric we have. Things like extracurriculars reflect more on the parents and community than the kids.

I needed to work hard to get a very high SAT score because I'm a dummy. But I did it.
