Lottery with a min bar would fix most of these issues, especially the crazy extra curricular game that is played today.

- austincheney 6y agoMost of the Ivy League schools already implement a lottery, because even with the absurd requirements for entry they can't differentiate the qualified candidates well enough to make a determination given the limited number of acceptance slots and high number of applicants. You have to keep mind those schools are extremely tiny compared to the highly rated state schools in California, Texas, and Florida.
- watwut 6y agoThis suggests that issue is not so much who get to Ivy League school, but the disproportionate advantage Ivy League schools graduates have. No matter how the entrance test is tweaked, as long as not studying there is a block in some career goal of an highly talented and highly ambitious student, there will be issues.
