In that case, I'd hope it would expose the bad colleges while showing the merit of the good ones. With acceptance rates out the window, the burden falls on colleges themselves to generate good results.
That is why the top are rated on performance.
Here’s a list of factors to consider while selecting the right college.
Good ROI
High graduation rate
Low student-faculty ratio
Adequate financial aid
Excellent research, internship, and travel opportunities
Well-planned curriculum
Interesting club activities and other extracurriculars
Deep concern for student health and wellness
Well-run campus/city safety systems
Helpful academic support services
Useful career services
Modern building infrastructure
Well-equipped labs / computing infrastructure
Dependable alumni network

Caitlyn Clark disagrees. As one of the very few good white WNBA players, it's clearly due to her skin color.

It appears that in the other 3 gospels that verses 9 - 20 were much later additions. Which , it appears, to have ignored the warning in Revelation about adding or taking away from scripture, if my memory serves me ?
To begin with the Gospel of John was written last.
In Matthew Judas identifies Jesus by kissing him.
Matthew 26:48-54
Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.” Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him. Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him.
The women returned from the tomb and told the men what they saw.
Luke 24:9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others. 10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with themwho told this to the apostles. 11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 12 Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened.
Took a few seconds to find the verses.

The famous sex researchers Masters and Johnson [1,2] have concluded that size of the male penis can have no true physiological effect on female sexual satisfaction. They base this conclusion on their physiological studies that show that the vagina adapts to fit the size of the penis. Because of this vaginal adaptation, they refer to the vagina as a potential space rather than an actual space. Thus, despite the worries of many males about the size of their penis, Masters and Johnson concluded that any size penis will fit and provide adequate sexual stimulation to the female.
"It's not totally clear why women prefer bigger penises," explains National Geographic, "but studies have shown that women prefer larger sizes because they can increase sexual satisfaction."

I think individuals and groups by nature and nurture, have more or less advantages, depending on their environments.
The Jews believed they were superior and the chosen people by God to rule the world. The Romans borrowed the concept and religion from the Jews and made it a universal religion with Rome at the top. Europe fought two world wars to establish white dominance then extended colonialism and slavery. Asians think it is their turn to dominate the races. Today, Africa is home to 1.5 billion people. By 2070, the UN expects this number to more than double. Its estimates range from 2.7 billion ...

You are being disingenuous. The John verse mentions nothing at all concerning the Judas kiss only that Judas "stood there with them" saying nor doing anything. But it dose clearly state that Jesus identified himself twice!John 18.4 Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”5 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied.“I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) 6 When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.7 Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?”“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.”It can hardly be the case that Jesus would have needed to identify himself twice if Judas had already done so..... and no mention of a sword being drawn and ears being chopped off. So Its either that Matthew's, Mark and Luke.s that are correct and John is wrong or John is correct and the other three gospelers wrong. So one is contradicting the other/s
Matthew 26:48-54
Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.” Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him. Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him.
Mark 16:8 Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.

Not sure how I would describe myself . But I have read and studied the bible for over 40 years. ....... and I know you haven't.That is why you cannot explain away those contradictory verses (of which there are many) .Would you like to explain away these contradictory verses for us as you often claim to be able to do?Are these biblical comments true or false?Jesus either identified himself the night of his arrest or Judas identified Jesus with a kiss. Which is it?The women spread the word of the empty tomb or they didn't. Which is it?

I would definitely believe in God if I saw him immediately cease the blowing of the wind, trouble is, for such a large claim as that, I feel like more than one account is needed. In many cases, however, the Bible just states crazy things that don't make any sense, and don't have historical evidence.
The Bible is the history of the Jewish people and their struggles with their God.

Oh, I understand what you are saying now. I thought you were referring outside of the Gospel. I apologize for the misunderstanding. The term "Christian" does not appear in any of the Gospels. The Gospels primarily recount His teachings and actions, which occurred before the term "Christian" was coined. Since the term "Christian" refers to followers of Christ and emerged after His death and resurrection, it wouldn't have been relevant during His lifetime or in the narrative of the Gospels. The term "Christian" first appears in Acts 11:26 to describe Jesus' followers in Antioch. This makes sense because Acts documents the growth of the early Church after Jesus' ascension.
Jesus did not change the mind of the Jews before or after his death. It was the Romans that made Christianity a universal religion when it was embraced by Constantine in 375 ad. Made the state religion of Rome.

Future generations are indeed lucky. I wish I was born 200 years later. But then again, I might be immortal given how I am different from all other people and I seem to have not aged at all for past 10 years. So I might still get to see all the wonders future holds.
If you are already different from all other people around you, prove you are already a misfit and a reject. Any further delays will only worsen your situation.

In first-world societies, the gradual decline of religion as a cultural cornerstone with objective, constant values has left a void that individuals and communities instinctively seek to fill. People seek to fill this void due to the inherited biological herd instincts. Religion provides not only a sense of meaning and purpose but also a framework for gratitude, humility, and civic moral responsibility (basic herd maintenance.) As these traditional systems of belief have all but faded, particularly in secular, affluent societies like the USA, the cheap replacement is vapid virtue signaling as a new form of "moral expression." It prioritizes external validation, with individuals projecting their alignment to manufactured social causes or ideals only to gain approval. This fundamental shift in the basis of "morality" is the reason for the weak moral fiber of society. One way this is manifested is how easily people will become both "pro war" and "Anti war" at the whim of a few memes within the same year. A person grounded in a firmer base of morality would have strong convictions that wouldn't flip flop so much.
More wars have been waged in the name of religion than any other reasons.

People would respond, "Then how come Trump can be a convicted felon while people get mad at Obama for wearing a tan suit?"It's not white privilege; it's republican privilege. Herschel Walker can be a hypocrite on multiple fronts; the American public on average will be more likely to defend it passionately than if Tim Waltz was hypocritical in the same way.White privilege doesn't exist; republican privilege does.
White privilege benefits all white Americans and not just Republicans. Just like slavery benefited all Americans from the lower cost of labour.

@CatholicApologetics
I didn’t mean this to be a trick question or anything profound. It’s exactly what it sounds like: if Christianity were true, would you convert to Christianity? It’s a straightforward question. When I say “Christianity were proven true,” I’m essentially asking that if all the claims in the Bible (let’s just consider the NRSV version), regardless of their interpretation, allegory, metaphor, or historical nature, were accurate, would you accept them and embrace the faith (at which point you wouldn’t be able to call it faith anymore)?You’d be surprised at the number of people who would still reject Christianity, often expressing sentiments like, “I wouldn’t follow a God who is so cruel to commit mass genocide.” I believe this question can gauge someone’s level of open-mindedness or willingness to explore new ideas. People generally prefer routines and are resistant to significant changes (with exceptions, of course). If they’re content with their lives, I think they’d be less likely to embrace an entirely new set of beliefs.
If Christianity was true and all the inhumane actions in the Bible facts. More people would be repulsed by Christianity.

The only question to all MAGA people is why elect a convicted criminal Trump who even committed crimes when he was in office the first term.?Because Trump is a god to them. If Trump claims to be the Messiah, uses his fast ear recovery as "proof", and calls his religion Magdated Christianity (MAGA updated) then his base will change their religion from whatever it is right now to Magdism. Even the never Trumpers are going to have to treat Magdism like any other religion; with mutual respect.They say Trump is a felon; if Muhammad was alive in the US today, then he would be a felon as well; having sex with 9 year old girls. The left respect Islam.
But Trump is compared to Jesus and not Mohammad. Jesus was convicted and crucified. Jesus never succeeded in making the Jews great again.
