It's not really about high end schools. Harvard, Yale, and MIT can turn down anybody they want because they have a million overly qualified candidates. They can be selective and still fill their all of classes ten times over.
But if tiny community colleges start turning people away when they have half empty classrooms, there will be a lot of negative press.
