And a "academically intelligent" person is always the best person to solve a
problem?
This is the thing, the collages have to look outside the box (outside the top
5-10-33% of students _by marks_ or _by SAT_ or by any other method that is
solely reliant on "academic inteligence", because the best person to fill a
spot may _not_ be the person who scores 90% on every test, but it may be the
person who scores 60% on every test, and keeps at it.
We are eliminating a large pool of talent, and I think that it is a crying
shame. I also feel that (esp. in the US, but here in Canada too...)
the almighty $ is starting to drive a large portion of people away from
education, when they should be getting it.
