There already has been a college admissions reality show. Entitled something like "The Scholar"? The Columbia admissions officer who did our info session there was one of the judges.

YES. I saw this show (my friend's mom thought it would be a good show for our self-edification or something like that) and the same dude from Columbia gave my info session too! She should have told us to like, read a book or something instead.
But as much as I'd be amused to see college admissions as narrated by Padma (or how about Gordon Ramsay? or the Big Brother hostess?) I think it's important to call attention to how arbitrary things like this are and how very few decisions are clear-cut. (Unless you're the mean person that casting put there for the sake of more drama!) And just like every viewer has favorite models/singers/chefs, I'm sure every adcom has a few applicants that they're stoked about and a few they are just bummed about not being able to admit.
