Uh, wrong. The school's foibles have already diluted the quality of applicants, which is why Hanlon is speaking out.

I haven't seen any real difference in 25th-75th percentile SAT scores for admits/attendees over the years and the acceptance rate is still below 10% i believe.

It's acceptance rate this year was 11.5%.

"Probably the most interesting statistics released are for Dartmouth, which has posted consistently lower application numbers over the past two years. Dartmouth recieved 19,235 applications this year, down 14% from the year before."

And that would be just lovely.

All colleges should get rid of their Greek systems. College students should give up binge drinking and drugs. What parent wants to spend $60,000 a year where their student gets caught up in high risk behavior that is the opposite of acting like a mature adult. College has become an expensive 4 year spring break for some students. Many just turn a blind eye to the problem of binge drinking at college. Parents need to be parents and factor the social aspect of college into the equation. Too many students get to college and just become sheep to the mainstream culture of binge drinking. Add a Greek system with hazing and it just a waste. I hope Dartmouth can do a 180.
