most would probably by filtered out based on the lack of extra curricular activities That's possible, but that certainly doesn't seem like a good reason to disenfranchise 25% of our brightest students. Furthermore, I'd expect that if those students had help during their applications to the top-tier schools, they'd probably also apply to some other great schools along the way. More exposure to the system can only help. The interesting thing about this is that a huge chunk of the operating expenses for top universities are paid for by us taxpayers. It'd be interesting to replace military recruiters with "government recruiters", charged with representing all the post-high-school government-funded programs available.
