"[Applicants] shouldn’t be discounted because [they don't] have one exceptional skill, nor should [they] be propped up because this lack of one exceptional skill misleads us into thinking [they are] succeeding only through [their] own effort like some sort of [academic] Horatio Alger character. It’s bad for [applicants], it’s very bad for [applicants] of color who never get the same breaks, and it’s just bad for [education]. Period."
