The original goal was to make the "elite education" a factor of the actual education itself. Minerva should be harder to get in to, by merit, than any other university. At the same time, anyone who CAN pass that barrier should be let in. With Stanford/Harvard/etc there are thousands of people every year that qualify to get in, but are rejected because of the relatively small number of spots available. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the clarification, and I hope you succeed with what you're trying to do.
