Community colleges admit anyone who wants to go. Students who do well there can then transfer to complete a Bachelor's degree. It's a great option for students who perform poorly on standardized tests.

This doesn’t change the fact that meritocratic admission is fundamentally broken at the other schools.

There are limited resources to provide high-end education. Effective use of those resources is key, and meritocratic admission is far preferable here to "just let everyone in".
