[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lottery--seriously. A certain percentage of the incoming class is offered admission by lottery. [/quote] I actually really agree with this. Have an internal scoring criteria that puts the most weight on grades and test scores, secondary weighting on extracurriculars/work experience/volunteering, tertiary weighting on recommendations/URM. Any student that meets a minimum scoring threshold gets their name put in the lottery. The university randomly picks students via the lottery who would be capable of completing the work. That said, I think even this would succumb to corruption. People are so invested in gaming the system. But a random lottery among those who meet the minimum qualifications would be "fairer" than the process today.[/quote]
