These are great questions and I hope they motivate discussion. I fear that if Harvard changed its admission policies to what some people here seem to want (scores and grades only, as far as I can tell from their comments), then Harvard would lose some of the attributes that make it so appealing in the first place. (Also, incidentally, admitting solely based on test scores and grades would kill every department except sciences, pre-med, and maybe Econ).[/quote]

Finally a proposal to actually improve college in this country.  Think about how much education productivity would improve by getting rid of fluff majors.  Goodbye ridiculous political horseshit in college.  Maybe an additional benefit would be fewer damn lawyers.[/quote]

Oh spare me this garbage.  Tell your kid they can only study those things you think are worth it. But the idea that you would willfully cut off areas of learning is just asinine and extremely arrogant.  [/quote]
