What? I am totally serious about this. (Thanks.)

Very few people that would actually deserve something like this are going to get it, and colleges will figure out what's going on and change the application process accordingly.

It's fairly obvious that grade points are not in limited supply. The number of points in the school system depend on the effort of the students. Ten people taking a test worth 100 points could end up putting 1000 more points in, or putting 0 more in.

Effort? Damn, then we need to hit the fat cats even harder. I would hate to have to expect effort from the less fortunate. If colleges do what you are talking about, they need to be sued for their mean spiritedness against (otherwise) F students.

(I actually laughed out loud at this post.)

I just got a huge kick out of that point. Because it's so true! The lawyers are also lobbyists who work for sinister corporations that scheme so maliciously to make students have to work for what they get. It is like the second coming of Hitler.
