I'm all for that point, I grew up in Switzerland which on the whole exemplifies that attitude (make sure the schools are good). But "we should fix the schools" is not a counter-argument to the fact that current admission inequity is primarily driven by socio-economic status.
- robomartin 4y ago> current admission inequity is primarily driven by socio-economic status Maybe I didn't make my point clearly enough? If admission is based on testing and our schools are top-of-the-line, kids would not any problem at all passing the test. We need better education before university. Make that happen and admission isn't an issue. Beyond that, the world is wide open now. There are tons of universities anyone can attend remotely and get a degree. Some have very permissive admission policies.
