[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When oh when have elite college admissions ever been a meritocracy? [/quote] A brief period, more or less, from 1965 to 1998, I’d say. Starting from when the Ivy League opened up. It ended when the glut of millenials showed up and the colleges realized that so long as demand outstripped supply they could play whatever stupid games they wanted with admissions and still keep their selectivity scores up. [/quote] HoS’s could still make phone calls in the 60s. Maybe the 90s, but the time frame is much shorter than people like to acknowledge [/quote]
