What makes you say that? Universities run on pomp as far as I can tell. It just goes unsaid (usually).
I had a friend in high school who had amazing grades + 1600 SAT + 36 ACT + very good writing skills that got rejected from MIT, Harvard, and Yale. He went to Stanford.
He was rejected because he was pompous? I don't get it.
BTW, MIT, Harvard and Yale look at more than just SAT scores and grades. In fact, I believe MIT has an interview process.
Yes, he thought he was smarter than many many people (he is, but that's not the point). He got rejected at other schools too (I can't remember which), but I remember that I was shocked that he got rejected from so many. I have no idea why he got rejected.
