Be careful what you (ignorantly) wish for.

Sure. Unless you are an Asian American woman. What this article fails to mention is that the whole college admissions process has been blatantly racist against Asians. Also since we are talking about women girls in general are disadvantaged under admissions to make way for more males that are less qualified. Again college admission here needs an overhaul. Many other countries rely on other meritocratic measures for competitive college admissions and I am all for that.

Curious which countries you are referring that have meritocratic methods?

China, Japan, and South Korea. And those kids literally kill themselves if they don’t gain admission. Suicide and depression rates among teens are off the chart in those countries. It’s collective trauma.

The elite universities in the. UK admit based on grades too. I don’t see them killing themselves.

Cant wait! Sounds like the right move! Admissions based on academic capability and motivation, maybe? I know, crazy.

The UK has a better safety net so people aren’t playing the rat race to maintain UMC status like they do here. In Asia and India, your only chance of having economic security is higher Ed or rich family.

It will be interesting to watch UVA Arts & Sciences, WM, IVpvys etc become gender blind in admissions and hit 70% women. Because race, national origin, gender and religion are the big protected classes. It’s hard to imagine prohibiting consideration of race but allowing gender consideration.

It’s interesting to watch as women become more educated than men and less dependent on them. There is a society wide shift underway that is creating the Incels and MAGAs, who are pushing to legally restrict women. This decision will make womens power and mens resentment explode.

Title IX already prohibits gender discrimination at public institutions

+1. Pp doesn’t know what they are talking about. Just how did we get to 60 percent women. Ohhhh Title IX

Yes! No more legacy or admission based on participation in expensive sports!

DP: the vast majority of European and Asian countries. And that's why as a society they tend to be more fair than we are.

In what ways are Asian countries more fair than the US?

And how is rewarding those with the highest test scores fair to those kids who don't have as much time to study for the exams because their family needs them to work?

Cheating on tests in these countries is rampant, and politically-connected and wealthy families can very easily buy their way into the top universities. I figured these would be examples of the countries offered...add India as another country where the admissions process is a mess.

Gender will be the next legal issue. Here is one example at Stanford: https://www.forbes.com/sites/kimelsesser/2022/11/30/stanford-university-under-investigation-for-sex-bias-against-men/

False. Our tax code punishes the UMC. What tge UK does have that we don’t is the purposeful channeling of middle school and high school students into vocational schools (imagine the squawk here if that should be proposed) so oNly the true scholars are left to apply to either Oxford or Cambridge (you have to pick) and I have firsthand knowledge of Oxford application prerequisite both undergrad and grad. It’s still a meritocracy whereas the US schools have simply lost their way with social engineering

You mean the same way rich and connected families buy their ways into universities here and people cheat ala university blues?

Are you arguing that the UK doesn’t practice socialism??

Yes...that's the point...when people reference these magic, pure countries and their meritocratic admissions, they all have their problems as well.

I don’t think you know what is going on in India and China. Did you know that the SAT stopped administering the test in China due to rampant cheating it could not control?

My family is British but you have first hand knowledge of the Oxford’s application process.
