[quote=Anonymous]"However, making the college admissions process random would actually help to address some of the inequality that is growing in our country - random distribution of the wealthy, poor, urban, rural, white, black, women, and men would democratize opportunity...but this will not come to pass in today's hyper-partisan and winner-take-all world." This is an interesting idea. The first question I have is does the school make the students or do the students make the school? If the school makes that students, and it isn't hard to argue that the school does for somewhere between 90 and 95% of students, then your random admissions process would be an improvement. I just think for the tippy top schools, it is more likely that the students make the school. That is what the adcoms are trying to find, students who are going to add more to the school than a randomly chosen student with the same GPA, SAT score and list of ECs.[/quote]
