well rude ,
I would have thought that was obvious .
If X is has to get his kicks and reassurances that he is a " man " and worthy of respect by hyping up thousands of applicants, 90% who have no hope of getting in by the front door , and by the process of playing GOD by eliminating them , then yeah most would think that is pretty sad .
WHY not just say : only 21-23 yo's , from OxBridge or Harvard/Yale , with relevant activities and outside activities can apply ?
They never say that do they ? it's always something pathetic and cheesy thing like " best thing is apply and see " ( girl has her best fake smile on ) .
Do you know that from time to time they just advertise even when they are NO jobs ? just to test the market .
That's how dirty they are . TRICKS & SNEAKS = only way .
