[quote=Anonymous]No, it's an amazing school. And it's funny that people think it's become less meritocratic--it's quite the opposite (same as most other elite schools). Used to be (1950s-60s and earlier) if you were a reasonably well-off, high achieving student you could assume you could get in. Add in legacy and you were golden. There just wasn't that much competition. Opening it up to diversity increased the pool and increased the competition. Just look at accomplishments over time and the acceptance rate. (Same story at many elite institutions). This has been a steady rise to this point. [/quote]
