<p>Well, sure. In any case, I believe we understand each other. I don’t have too much more to add, and I think you can see at least why I’d want a little bit of a cleaning up of applications! I have heard some top schools really, really emphasize their essay questions (as in, as a final deciding factor on whom to admit, more than ECs or test scores or grades, once these factors have been stamped as “decent”), and many of these seem less to do with the student’s accomplishments within context of background, and seem to be asking things which really can’t be figured out without getting to fully know a student. </p>
<p>I’m sure talented students will manage anywhere, just it makes most sense in context of the resources available to let only ones with extremely tangible accomplishments gauging their motivation and readiness into top schools which teach many very special high level classes, may have great sports teams, and are specially great institutions of learning. </p>

<p>Hm, I can possibly see this, though in many cases those who will benefit are also those who will contribute, no? I see a college flourishing if its students go on to do great things.</p>
