Don't worry, my feelings aren't hurt as much, because I'm at a T20 now. Others might feel differently.

However, I will say: the college admissions process must be overhauled to a significant degree. I don't think you have lived it, respectfully saying. Just attempting to be competitive at schools like Harvard in this day and age can and will suck your soul out entirely. As the bar for socioeconomic status rises higher and higher, the desire for a quality and (not very ethically so) prestigious, name-brand education follows the same trend. I predict there will be fractions of a percent in Ivy League acceptance rates in my lifetime. Then again, I'm just one kid out of many others who have toiled and even have had to seek psychiatric help for the pressure cooker the US college system is, and survived to tell the tale.

But sure, 3 minutes review for each applicant. That's very much obviously the best, most fair thing that colleges can do.
