Yes and No.  It IS about colleges selecting the students they want in their classes. But you are incorrect when you say it has nothing to do with broad economic or political philosophies.  Read up on on what college admissions deans are doing to encourage wealth redistribution by pushing 30% of the class to be low-income, URM, first-generation, etc.  And the essays are where the students try to show off their societal smarts to pass the political correctness test.  Colleges are very much now about wealth redistribution and turning out the next phalanx of Social Justice Warriors.[/quote]

[b]College admissions deans have one very difficult job: Build a class that is consistent with the mission of the organization, while remaining within budgetary constraints.  This often includes having students from different racial, cultural, and economic backgrounds.  It has nothing to do with the reorganization of the castes of American society, and any AD that made that his mission would be out of a job after one cycle.

The fact that you don't know this is evidence that you have no idea how or why colleges set their admissions priorities, have never been near the process, and don't even know anyone who has.[/quote][/b]

Little do you know.  Low income enrollment up; MC and UMC shut out; legacy admits down = wealth redistribution.  https://www.forbes.com/sites/prestoncooper2/2018/02/26/college-enrollment-surges-among-low-income-students/#58cb2435293b[/quote]. If legacy admits are down, it means we are getting closer to a meritocracy. I think that is good. [/quote]
