        The term 'Elite college' is synonymous with, 'Liberal Professors' indoctrinating youth in our pursuit of high minded, high society hoity-toity nonsense for wealth and power.

        Must raise application fees. With most colleges accepting the Common App it is too easy to submit dozens of apps to colleges. $250 would put an end to this problem

        They really never do. Class rank, SAT, ACT, race, and sex. That is all they review. Quotas.
