The problem with good colleges are that they are capitalist. Smart people will always get turned away if there is a rich kid applying. Do you really think George W Bush would have gotten into Yale if his grandfather hadn't of be super rich? I can't imagine him getting more than a 900 on his SATs.

If you spread out grades too much, it lowers the value of a diploma, from any school. Kids are supposed to be able to flunk out.
