[quote=Anonymous]"  No, get a "B" in 9th grade and you are not getting. Get all "A" and very high or prefect SAT and ACT, you are most likely not getting in Harvard. There is just a lot on competition for a limited number of spots. Now the rich and powerful do get in because they have influence. If American was sinking into the ocean and there was one ship leaving, who do you think would get on the ship? The rich and powerful because they are rich and powerfully. So they made do a little around the edges but no big changes. "

That's not true about the grades.  Not a big fan of the site but take a look at College Confidential.  Definitely not all A students.  You can see that they had different academic bars depending on bucket.  There is a lot of competition but think about how the slots are filled during SCEA with the institutional priorities.  There is a much smaller percentage of seats vs # applicants for regular decision.  I think what they are questioning is whether the competition should be more open through out the process.  Doubtful it'll get anywhere myself.
