No, they do let in a lot of academically proficient applications.

Sure-- they are measured using a carefully constructed rubric which allows them to select the most likely victors. The top competitors are granted admission.

I'm thinking that it would save a lot of time, though, if they just selected for those who are listing things like gladatorial combat and ultimate cagefighting under "hobbies" and quizzed for soft ethical boundaries. But that's just me. Then again, maybe it's the parents we need to be worrying about there. Hmm. Might be an additional sorting criteria, though...
