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
of getting an education. Those who arrived
under false premises will leave as failures.
Too bad. They may have succeeded in a less
challenging situation.
I'm sure they have. I wonder if these geniuses have evalutated the reliability of having faculty members evaluate those traits objectively in their students?
Of course they have, but finding the most qualified students who are most likely to succeed is not the goal of this system and everyone knows it.
Being able to slam dunk or weighing 300 lb and running a 4.7 40 are traditional non-cognitive measures at colleges with basketball and football programs.
