Getting rid of early action will ease these daunting barriers, but the process cannot be truly meritocratic as long as preferences are given to alumni and athletes.The complex admissions process supposedly distinguishes the qualified from the unqualified, the very best from the merely very, very good. The current process, however, is hopelessly burdensome, inaccurate, and biased. Standardized tests, for example, separate the good test takers from bad test takers, rather than the best students from the next best. But Harvard College?...
