This is more discriminatory though. How can a poor kid express their "passion" to University admissions offices? SATs are the best leveller we have not to mention their strong correlation with actual outcomes.
Also, passion can be developed later, you can't expect 16 year olds to know what they want to do. Recruit for high competence.
