<p>Yes:
Admissions Counselors think they can read into all the "intagibles" and tell if you will make a great student. Here's some criticism: <a href="http://www.townhall.com/columnists/thomassowell/ts20050415.shtml%5B/url%5D">http://www.townhall.com/columnists/thomassowell/ts20050415.shtml</a></p>
<p>Also, the college admissions process could be easily streamlined. College Board could start by sending all your personal information and test scores to the colleges you designate, via the internet, or at least cheaper than the internet. Further steps to digitize and cheapen the process would be your guidance counselor or someone else putting report cards online, so that the school would not need to mail them, although this is fraught with the danger of typos. There is no part of admissions, except for the interview, which could not be facilitated by digitization.</p>
<p>I think a more competition in the private industry is preferable to government takeover in the testing arena.</p>
<p>Another idea for reform: You prioritize the colleges you want to attend, ranking them. Your application is passed around, going down the list, until you are accepted, where you must attend, or reject the offer for financial reasons, and then your applications contiue going to colleges down the list. Colleges would not see how you ranked them. Possible complications with this are varying applications and requirements for colleges and the issue of rejecting acceptances.</p>
<p>I disagree with Affirmative Action too, but I put up reforms here that seem most agreeable.</p>
