Abstract
The social order, which explicitly and implicitly seeks to form candidates for university enrollment, is fueled by powerful philosophical, scientific, and sociopolitical factors. These factors contribute to the ongoing formation of the college candidate from birth, through youth, and into adulthood. These factors not only affect the development of the college applicant prior to admission (or rejection) but also affect the academic performance of that student once (or if) he or she is admitted to college.
As a nation, we’re caught on a hook of defining intelligence in certain ways and then letting our colleges and universities be defined in the same narrow ways.
