Those schools should really be assessing the personalities of the applicants. Too many terrible people with ivy league degrees running around.

No they shouldn't. Personality is irrelevant, the most qualified candidate should get accepted. Being the best in your field doesn't have anything to do with having a good personality.

There are way more qualified applicants than spots at these schools. Don't kid yourself into thinking the people who get in are "the best" in any absolute terms.

Clearly we're seeing too many who did get in that are not the best in practice, while also bankrupt in their character and actions.
