How many Presidents, Chief Justices, Nobel laureates, Pulitzer Prize winners, Fortune 500 CEOs has UVA produced? Top institutions don't need to be dragged down to meet the average based on some arbitrary criteria. Harvard's academic standards are fine, and "excluding as many people as possible" is the entire point. If you don't like it, don't apply.

UVA is a very good institution. > Top institutions don't need to be dragged down to meet the average based on some arbitrary criteria "Dragged down" tell us how you really think about the bottom 99.99%! It makes me think you really don't think of the rest of us as proper citizens - should we gate more things to university admissions? Because last time I checked, the current POTUS went to University of Delaware, an institution even less exclusionary than UVA. > If you don't like it, don't apply. I think their influence on society should be crushed, because it's been a net-negative since the introduction of "meritocracy" to their admissions policies.
