27 - The College Admissions Scandal
•
The Badlands
In this episode, we talk about the college admissions scandal, and the underlying problems with admissions into prestigious universities. To what extent are the universities to blame for the scandal, and scandals aside, how meritocratic is the admissions process? Would we be better off if we just stopped attaching prestige to admission in these schools?
