Wow... I wonder what the Ivies would look like if admissions were 100% merit.

No legacies. I think there would be FAR fewer trust-funders.

And MIT's 'Chocolate City'...pretty much gone.

I suspect they would be very Asian places with a smattering of Jewish students. I think I can see why they would give ... say ... a Colorado snow boarder a few extra points. I think there is something that he brings to an Ivy campus...though I can't quantify it.
