I just assumed that it was standard practice internationally. Though I have heard that nepotism gets IB applicants further in US than UK and this could be one reason why.
Isn't is technically illegal to do this in the US? Bryan Caplan says that if firms thought IQ testing was important they'd pay the fines. They use college degrees because they are more useful measures (since they also include conscientiousness and conformity). But in any case, I don't think it is actually ubiquitous, or even common, in the US.
Gosh I didn’t think it would be illegal.. it seems to be in some kind of legal grey zone re discrimination. Ironically social mobility seems easier in the UK than US, especially since which uni someone went to doesn’t matter as much in the UK, as well as less geographical isolation.
