The AO’s who fall for this BS are signing the death warrant for these schools which will inevitably lose their luster as they churn out graduates of no substance.[/quote]

No it doesn't. Harvard has never taken the best an the brightest. They used to take anyone who showed up and passed an entrance exam, then they took any boy who was moderately literate and went to the right prep school. Anyone remember when they took this loser:

The reasons that I have for wishing to go to Harvard are several. I feel that Harvard can give me a better background and a better liberal education than any other university. I have always wanted to go there, as I have felt that it is not just another college, but is a university with something definite to offer. Then too, I would like to go to the same college as my father. To be a "Harvard man" is an enviable distinction, and one that I sincerely hope I shall attain.
