    I'm starting to think colleges like money.

    Not sure if in state kids have a tough time but I don't think they like to take too many kids from any one high school. A student with high GPA, activities, high SAT, etc. that can't get in from one high school probably could at another high school that had fewer applicants.

    Maybe off-topic but this was interesting. The SAT should be made more difficult. Too many people getting over 1500..

    Schools like to let in jocks because they tend to go into finance, make big money and reward their schools with donations.

    MIT:s 2023 freshman class was 15% black. Obviously MIT's admission policy isn't based strictly on acsdrmics and ability to do the work
