A word on why to do a discussion like this: a thought experiment (which is what these discussions really are) helps you examine issues in a more abstract setting, without discussing what Harvard does or doesn’t do, for example. It might give some people ideas about what colleges really should do, or what sort of colleges they might actually like. Also, I think it’s fun.

“Then I would apply that information to new applicants and assign them to their ideal school.”

Sort of like a computer dating service? I wonder how successful those are.
