Then there's the invisible hand of the market. If Harvard Law School admitted and graduated unqualified candidates, employers would steer clear of hiring their graduates, which would cause potential applicants to choose other schools, further lowering their prestige and their ranking and hurting the school overall. Much more than bringing in token minorities would improve it. Once again capitalism solves the problem.Not only that, but those universities also choose people based on their highest likelihood of success later in life based on their personality and achievements before admission. Kids with 4.0 GPAs are a dime a dozen. Kids with 3.7 GPAs who start charities, organize programs and make an impact on the community are much fewer and far between. It's the latter who get chosen over the former. They not only have grades that are good enough but also demonstrate the kind of drive in other aspects of life that almost guarantees their success later in life. This translates into donations for that college once they make it. It's a clear-cut investment decision. |
