This is helping affluent students game admission to prestigious schools?

So, is gaming graduation at a prestigious school a natural outgrowth of gaming admission?

And gaming the job interview, after you cheat your way to admission and graduation.
Why not just dispense with all the theatre? Let rich kids party and hook up for 4 years, and then hand them a well-paying career. Leave university for the people who value it.
It's been done, of course (by their parents in those cases).
That said, when I was in College we had test tables about 8 feet apart set up in the numerous gyms, they started the exams at the set time. They had about a dozen invigilators walking about looking for crib sheets, whispers etc = I think these will make a comeback. We also need to make Faraday shields on the walls/windows/roofs/doors. They have a clear RF shield for windows with a very thin tin layer allowing about 85% light and zero RF. These can be set up as panels, laid down and taken up. This would block iphones/Android from accessing remote resources. These bright AI enabled fools would be 'cut off at the knees' when their AI ubermenchen failed the task = smarter already....
All this time, I've been declining LeetCode interviews, and encouraging others to.
But one of the ways that pushback is undermined is by cheating.
Why have principles about interviewing, when you can selfishly profit, by having even less principles about honesty.
I'm not sure, but I had the impression it used to be that college students were among the most likely to do things on-principle. Protests for good causes, for example.
And college will become just 4 years of intensive, broad training for people who really want to get an edge.
Which doesn't sound so bad to me, actually.
