People not from the west but living in the west overlook the downsides and advocate for a system that they understand how to navigate vs one that they do not understand. There is much less angst from the native born. This isn’t unique to the top privates, it applies equally to the top UC schools given that many of these families live in CA. Our system of private universities is unique and the fact that they aren’t focused on peak academics but rather a high baseline then other factors is also pretty unique.

They want to attend these schools because if their prestige but at the same want to change them in ways that would reduce their prestige longer term.”

Holistic admissions was created to keep Jews out of Harvard.  Literally created to give admissions officers enough discretion to discriminate.[/quote]

SATs were supposed to be a tool find a diamond in the rough, not become a money generating company that makes money off the fear of parents.[/quote]

How much money do you think the co0llege board makes from the SATs?
They make twice as much from AP testing.[/quote]
