College Admissions

In a lot of science fiction movies there comes a scene in which our heroic protagonist comes before the High Council. He (or she) steps into a spotlight in the middle of a dark, cavernous room. He tries to see beyond the light, where he assumes people sit, but it is hopeless. A great booming voice comes out of nowhere and asks random questions as if they were life and death. Often, the outcome is life and death. Our great hero is reduced to tears by the High Council’s interrogation. That is what we see college admissions as.
