But wait. The more colleges charge for tuition, the harder it becomes for intelligent but poor people to get admittance. Therefore, the worse a college degree from a "top college" can act as a proxy for intelligence.

That's why top colleges give generous scholarships to exceptional poor kids.

It doesn't make admission harder, it makes attending harder. Or life after attending harder, dealing with the debt.
