CC participant Hunt opened a thread

http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/509446-modest-proposal-super-stat.html

that has prompted discussion of a university at which the sole admission criterion is scores on a specified set of tests. There have been some very interesting comments in that thread about what such a university would be like. Following up on Hunt’s modest proposal, I opened threads modestly proposing a university that admits based solely on high school grade point average

or modestly proposing a university that admits solely on the basis of sports prowess.

Certainly other highly specific admission policies are possible, and modest proposals for such universities would be very welcome on the College Admissions Forum. Here on the College Search & Selection Forum, I’m wondering which specialized university you prefer. Which one would be most likely to admit you? Which would be most likely to admit your best friend from high school? Which would you most enjoy attending? Would you like your state’s flagship university to have an admission policy like any of the modestly proposed universities? (Or does it already?)

Hunt, I, and I suppose other CC participants would be glad to hear your opinion.
