What Worries You Most About the College Admissions Process?

By NATALIE PROULX | Jun 1st 2018

Is it writing the college essay? Taking the “right” classes? Shouldering the costs of tests, tutoring and application fees? Or is it something else?

The inherent social stratification of higher education worries me.
It appears that people are much the same in genetic endowment.
College is an institution that trains a small fraction for command and another small fraction as manipulators.
It does not teach the creative process well.
