That's probably true if done the way suggested, where the auctioned slots are open to anyone who pays enough money.

Suppose that instead the auction was only open to people who got put on the wait list after the regular admissions process?

Top schools get a lot more qualified applicants than they have openings for, and a lot of people end up on the wait list who are just as qualified as people who were admitted.
