I'm a bit cynical, that deemphasizing and obscuring objective measures (SAT, GPA, etc.) might be motivated by wanting control demographics.
For instance, like Harvard trying to keep itself from getting too Asian, which echos how it tried to keep Jews out back in the '30s.
If the goal is actually diversity, my mom had a proposal: have transparent minimum requirements, then simply pick eligible applicants from a lottery. You can control diversity vs. academic performance by adjusting the test score bars.
