Many of those "poor 'holistic' qualities" can be code words for discrimination. "Social skills" for neurotypical, "leadership" for attractive, "athleticism" for not disabled, "disposition" for obedient.

Even if you're right and extremely high SAT and grades are correlated with neurodiversity, physical problems, or rebelliousness, are those qualities colleges should be discriminating against?

Or maybe 'leadership' actually means 'leadership'?

And 'athletic' means 'athletic'?

They are unless you have a heap of evidence to suggest they are not.

And yes, Universities should definitely be considering all of those qualities, most of them do to the extent they can.

There's certainly a heap of evidence of discrimination against neurodiversity, physical problems, and rebelliousness. It's certainly been talked about enough. If you're not aware of it that's only because you've chosen to ignore it.
