Admissions only gets you in the door. Surviving
and succeeding take cognitive capability.
The unqualified, uncompetitve student will
be eaten alive by the real players. In the
end, the real players will achieve the objective

under false premises will leave as failures.
Too bad. They may have succeeded in a less
