We need a method for allocation of scarce resources. If it’s not money, it’s either a random lottery, or it’s based on some allocation function like a performance assessment. I would not expect to see allocation of government funded admission slots to top private colleges based [solely] on performance-based assessments, because it’s too much equality and not enough equity. That’s not to say it wouldn’t be a brilliant idea to let kids earn free slots into college. The last time we did it though, they had to earn those slots in Vietnam.
