js, I’d disagree that there is any way to accurately judge who is a ‘more qualified student’; numbers such as GPA and SAT are certainly not accurate methods by any means. The same argument you’ve presented is made about all the groups that you mention (celebs, legacies, athletes, and URM’s), and it is just silly. Some of these people are qualified to attend Brown for reasons that have nothing to do with GPA and SAT scores, etc., but their qualifications may speak much larger volumes regarding their actual potential to contribute to Brown than do those “objective” measures.
