How about more top colleges?
Incredulous as it sounds, if there's really a flood of qualified (as deemed by college admissions people who aren't just making excuses) students for top schools, then simple supply and demand states that there's a market opportunity for 'top schools'. How to form a top school quickly is an issue, I'll admit - but there are scenarios that instantly attract smart and talented people.
For instance, consider a new private college/academy that had close ties with TED - they recruited a lot of the TED speakers to be professors or advisors and students would have the opportunity to work with these people. That would definitely attract talent quickly.
- rms 18y agoSee Olin College for an example of a 'top school' created quickly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_W._Olin_College_of_Engineering http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_W._Olin_College_of_Eng... It takes an enormous amount of money to do it. Also accreditation is a big issue -- you can't get accredited until a class graduates. Olin got accredited immediately after their first class graduated.
