    I didn’t submit SAT (or equivalents) and still got accepted into several different colleges.

    I never finished because I’m a shit student but I’m also making over 240k with no degree.

    So, even now colleges and employers don’t care. Maybe higher tier colleges but I was never getting into those anyway.

      ACTs and SATs aren’t mandated. Students take them if they want to, just like the ASVAB now.

      If the SATs were mandated, employers and colleges would expect to see the scores.

        No one asked to see my state standardized test scores either and those were mandatory to take.

        This is a bit of a slippery slope fallacy, I think.

        To be clear, I don’t think anyone should be forced to take the ASVAB.
