I think the current proposal agrees - "Minimum bar plus lottery" caps the returns on spending money, but also other forms of merit. I also agree that it's impossible and probably undesirable to keep folks from investing in every kind of preparation they can. However, I think the test is a uniquely concentrated opportunity to invest in swaying the admissions system rather than in preparing more holistically. What I'd love to see explored are: - A more holistic admissions packet that includes evaluation beyond GPA. - Public resources on advanced education earlier in the curriculum. - Some examination of Chicago-style admissions, which ranks students within local geographies to pick highest achievers from many backgrounds (yes, I'm aware of many arguments from both sides against this structure).
