[quote=Anonymous]The article isn't wrong but as someone who is embedded in and benefitting from the system, the author has a huge blind spot when largely excusing the schools: the outrageous expense to attend. The fact is the schools desperately need full pay wealthy students and so they fix the system to guarantee a steady stream of them. The way college admissions can be helped if not fixed is to devalue the college degree. Don't make it a job requirement the way it is. Recruit outside of top schools. Don't make colleges and their facilities so dependent on incoming tuition (cut admin staff, fancy buildings, unrealistic pension benefits, etc.). We've made college into something it shouldn't be (and colleges are deeply complicit in this): a societal gatekeeper. [/quote]
