>They don't work like a normal market, there best company grows theur production, and supplies millions with the best goods. Oxford/Harvard take their miniscule intake of a fraction of a percent every year, and opening door to unwashed masses would destroy their brand.
This is exactly how high-end luxury good markets work.
- dpoochieni 6y agoI agree, the unwashed masses do destroy most of everything. Granted Harvard is not what it used to be, same as an MS is not what it used to be, a Phd is not what it used to be. In the past the quality was even higher, more akin to an artisan workshop than whatever mass-anything you could conceive of.
- fossuser 6y agoRelatedly I read the top colleges try to get students they know they'll never admit to apply, because the more that apply, the more they can reject and the more selective they become. Selectivity is a status symbol, so you want as many as possible to apply so you can reject as many as possible.
