Polished performers wanted: Elite colleges and the scripted art of polite disagreement
Posted
Elite US universities are now using the "disagreement question" in applications, asking students to describe moments of navigating opposing views. As reported by The New York Times, this shift follows the decline of affirmative action and rising political scrutiny. Experts warn it may favour privileged applicants with access to coaching. Platforms like Schoolhouse.world are also rating students on civil debate. Critics question whether these changes improve fairness or entrench existing inequalities in elite admissions.
