The uncomfortable fact is that we're actually very bad at predicting who will thrive at college and who won't. It's like hiring in that way, and I'm not joking when I say a lottery would probably work just as well as what we do.

Very true. But I think that it’s more important to give as broad a cross section of society the chance to succeed, whether they do I guess is not something we can predetermine.
