Some colleges use standardized tests as a way of *including* students rather than weeding them. In other words, if your GPA is low but your SAT scores are good, they take a second look and maybe try to make a determination at the interview.

Conversely, a student with a strong GPA but low SAT scores could get in on the merits of the GPA.

Most college admissions people have a lot of experience with evaluating students using a number of criteria. They see *many* students over the years and are able to correlate their admissions standards with actual performance in the college.
