> Why can’t Harvard teach the entire country? Harvard's selling proposal is not its quality of education, but its exclusivity in admissions. A Harvard graduate is not special because of their graduation, but because he got into Havard the first place (pre-college academic achievement here is just as good as being part of the gilded elite: They select for exceptional, not for 'good enough'). If everyone is super, no-one is. Of course that's something some people want.
