...essays can be altered far beyond a student’s capabilities. Although I do not have a magic solution to this problem, the College must recognize and account for it rather than quietly ignoring it, because it won’t go away. Too many students seek only the paper the degree is printed on and the prestigious name attached. Colleges must do more to distinguish passionate and academically talented students from those with merely pretty applications.The removal of early admissions options, at Harvard and now at Princeton, is only the first step towards reforming the college admissions process...

...valley girl and hey presto!—the magic of Community has broadened our horizons and made us all happy little intellectuals. No doubt the College thinks itself terribly clever in its similar-minded efforts with freshman housing.Alas, life does not work that way. People always seek out their own “safe space” amongst those who share their interests and mindset. Extracurricular communities are one of the best ways of bringing different people from backgrounds and cultures together: a violinist in the Signet is not primarily a Mexican or a Jew, but a musician...
