Several years ago, the university where I work reevaluated the admissions process for programs that had separate admissions criteria -- mostly graduate programs in medical fields. Specifically, they were looking for what information we receive in applications that correlates the most closely with success in the actual program.

They were surprised to find that grades in STEM classes, including all the prerequisites required by the programs, had no correlation to graduate school performance. What did correlate closely was grades in English and history classes. We did not advertise our findings, but we changed our admissions standards for health care graduate programs to give more weight to grades in English, history and the humanities in general.

This sounds highly unlikely, or deliberately misleading.

Reading grows your vocabulary, increases emotional intelligence and empathy, and teaches you to understand different perspectives. It has all kinds of knock on effects that lead to better outcomes overall.

Yeah they basically said it's valuable for favoring foid nonesense the next paragraph lol.

The pool they were looking at excluded everyone who was not interested enough or performed too poorly in STEM to be applicants. It seems likely that people who perform well across a broad range of subjects are more likely to perform highly overall, compared to someone who qualifies in the field but is scraping by on everything else.

Idk I graduated with like a 3.95 GPA and did not even have to push myself besides doing what was required from me but I did like to read. Absolutely hated writing though I was decent at it (I would consider suicide before journaling).

School is really fricking easy as long as you are not r-slurred and pay attention.

Not saying you need to eat only salad or anything but what you've said is reactionary and stupid.
