[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meritocracy is the wrong word. That implies that accepted students are better or more deserving. Better at what? More capable of performing college level work? More creative? More innovative or entrepreneurial? More likely to contribute to the culture of the institution and social experience of other students? More deserving? How? What will it look like? It will look like a student body at elite school made up of kids with families who have the knowledge, privilege, and ability to invest heavily in their kids and rich kids whose families outsourced that type of coaching and steering. It will be a less diverse and less interesting student body that will result in less innovation and a stagnant economy. [/quote] Lucky enough to be born into a wealthy family. [/quote]
