Why should colleges look at anything but SAT, Grades, Inland Empire HS Science Project Gold Medalist, etc.

Brown nosing. That how my sister got through high school and college. She wasn't "smart" so to speak. She could manipulate. My wife is the same way. She an idiot I love, but she's an idiot. So is my sister. To her and my wife 3 times to pass the real estate brokers exam. I woke up hung over at 21 and nailed it the first time.

It's not about sex or men. It's about control. Women that know how to manipulate men are successful. Wife just broke a bowl and it was somehow my fault. You have to learn reverse manipulation. She's cleaning it up and I just told her I did the dishes. Subtle, but she knows I'm right and it wasn't an argument.

A large part of the shtick of places like Harvard is that they claim to be training Renaissance Men People who are "well-rounded" and therefore suited for globalist leadership roles.

Most 'activities' are strictly Potemkin, like being Pres of Key Club (snotty rich kids, skull&bones lite), or in a community outreach organization (anybody check if you were even present?).

Apparently, one of the potent admittors is attending a known Freemason private high school, especially if you want to work for the Guv.

I knew a guy back east who got into UC Berkeley on a forged transcript, and he said that if you want to resonate with the academic phonies, squash and fencing are sure fire bets on forged manuscripts, along with the grades. Crew works pretty well, too. Tennis championship and even golf will produce scholarships.

Also, if you have the clout, political representation never hurts, which is their way of preserving the class conflicts.

In the Bakke days, a Regent of UC slipped and stated that a minimum of ten percent of the slots in professional and graduate schools of the campus were reserved for pure political appointees of influential people and contribution angels i.e. Regent discretion. Judging from my own group at UCLA and especially with the advent of preferential DEI admissions for women and minorities, I would peg that a minimum of 40 percent have little if anything to do with merit. The big secret is that even the Ivies have many deadwood, grifters, and incompetents. I know a guy in Tri Valley who bragged to me he got into Harvard dental on a forged transcript.

It is nice that people of merit and achievement as well as brains have a better chance, but nowadays they are purposely idio-fying the institutions. I gather that historically this has happened before when rulers wanted more docile and superstitious/illiterate populations for labor. They would preferentially murder the upper middle class professional and intellectual types, like the Communists do, strictly to make holding on to central power easier.

Not that long ago they persecuted those media stars for hiring transcript doctors for their children. It's commonplace. My parents gave no guidance and scarce financial, so I managed on my own unadvised steam. My first 'advisor' at UC was a Nobel Prize winner. He was a nice man, but we were as clueless with each other as space aliens from different planets.

Education is first and foremost important to morality, universal values of constitutional democracy, and public social responsibility awareness.
教育首先重要以品德、宪政民主普世价值、公共社会责任意识。

And that's a bit scary to say the least. Merit is not a thing. Manipulated EGO is what is required.

When I was in college I couldn't figure out why they wanted me to take bunch of useless classes I didn't care for. That was long ago. I always thought "well rounded" just simply meant we want you to pay us for more classes. I saw it as purely a financial thing. I can be wrong, that's just what I thought.

I don’t think you’re wrong at all.

It's also a great excuse to elbow aside genius achievers to make way for more midwits with slightly higher SAT scores, but they were Vice President of Martha's Vineyard Students For Refugees Club.

What no one accounts for is the cheating. There are some high scorers on the SAT and ACT that are actually smart. If you don't think the test questions can be bought for that season, you'd be considered delusional.

The cost to print out different test would be huge. They print one for that general time of year you take it. Mommy and daddy have money and you can get an almost perfect score.

ACT was more popular in the midwest. As a spoiled country club kid I had others trying to sell me the test and answers. Fact is everyone will take cash for something. I personally as a high schooler didn't have the cash and wasn't about to ask my parents. My dad would have beat the shit out of me.

Everything in life is rigged. You just have to be able to catch it.
