University admissions should be based on objective criteria such as general cognitive ability to avoid the inefficiencies and failures inherent in holistic review processes.

“I've thought this through and this is my conclusion and you can tell me what you think about this which is that yeah but for every kid like that you're gonna do like eight kids to failure and it seems like an inefficient use of that kid's time and the school's resources to have a failure rate”

Universities should move toward test-based admissions to identify qualified students from disadvantaged backgrounds while providing more transparency about likely outcomes.

“basically every other system has test based admissions and I think the key to pushing on four more for test-based admissions is exactly what you said we think about the tests as favoring the rich but the other stuff favors zurich's even more”
