And for those who sought other outlets, the great array of clubs, societies, sports teams, and even a newspaper that consumed its students??€™ lives offered equal opportunity to those presented by Harvard.

Giving athletes special advantages for throwing a ball hard or running quickly undermines the meritocracy that the College should strive for in its admissions process.Finally, and perhaps most importantly, Harvard and other institutions need to find a way to peel back the glossy covers of wealthy students??€™ applications. This can be done somewhat in an interview, but there really is no clear solution given the current applications and standards for admission. The SAT is clearly flawed, counselor recommendations and grades are too variable to rely on, and essays can be altered far beyond a student?...
