So let us list the ways to “buy”-pa$$ the admissions system.


“Consultancy” admit ie: hire one of the admissions staff to be your “consultant”
“Developmental” admit ie: donate money to develop the university
Legacy admit ie: parents are alumni and will donate money
“Athletic admit” ie: get in because people will pay money to see you perform in sporting events.


Sure looks like merit comes last.

Agree. It is all in your list (1-4) and ‘diversity’ claim those commonly acknowloged by public, leave the hole for these adcoms to play.

If ‘merit’ comes first and most there won’t leave so much more let them play. It would be interesting to know how many of these adcom previouse get into the previliged college through those hook themselves. So they would think their behavious are justifiable. How you told your naive kids to put all you confidence in these adcoms? One more ‘elite’ bubble breaks.
