Colleges Are Aggressively Recruiting Student Applicants — Just To Reject Them

The Business Insider reports:

the most elite colleges, including those in the Ivy League, send letters encouraging many students to apply although, high school counselors say, most of the students' odds of getting in are infinitesimal.

"I've had students come in with those letters," said Jayne Fonash, guidance director at the Loudoun County, Virginia, Academy of Science, a public high school. "It's terribly disrespectful for a student with a solid academic record but who still isn't getting into an Ivy League school to be misled to think that one of those schools is a real possibility. That borders on being dishonest."

Is this the greediest part of the Obama coalition?
