No, MY challenge is, show me how the class is "weaker" than it used to be. How it is in your words, "less talented". I've never seen any evidence to that effect and I think one thing the admissions department prides itself on, here, is the ability to do what you think is impossible, to build a healthy learning environment as WELL as maintain the level of the student body. Admissions is a harder job than just lining people up in order of their SAT scores, I think.
In my opinion the strange way that America some how seems to lead the world in talent output is largely due to its experimental system of college admissions and education. I say experimental because it is employed in no other country with which I am familiar. I recently gave a little talk in a Chinese school to that effect. Why fix what isn't broken? What would be our incentive to make reverse progress and backtrack to a selection system of ranks and numbers and grades?
