The majority of Harvard's class this year is non-white. Many of the whites are likely the beneficiary of being the children of wealthy donors. They will spend four years being indoctrinated with leftist nonsense. These are our future leaders. How much sense of responsibility and patriotic feeling will these people have? They certainly won't be exposed to it in their formative years in college.
We desperately need something like the French Grandes Ecoles model. There is no bump for dumb alumni kids. They don't give a fuck about diversity. It is purely merit based and free and inculcates an elite attitude that prioritizes France and the French. They are not creating collages on the topic of the evils of French imperialism.

The École Polytechnique was founded in 1794, during the French Revolution, to train the country’s military engineers, and it officially remains under the umbrella of the French ministry of defense. Not only is the school free, but students also receive a stipend from the government to cover their expenses.
“We call it l’élitisme démocratique,” says Pierre Tapie, dean of Essec, a leading French business school. “These are places where you meet extraordinary people who are there because they worked hard and are among the most brilliant of a generation.”
Although the school teaches high-end fare like physics, engineering, and computer sciences, its broader goal is to create a leadership cadre that shares an ordered, prioritized view of the world, says Xavier Michel, the president of the École Polytechnique and an active-duty general in the French armed forces.

Work is stressful and hard. Why should an elite education be any different? Kids can still go to an SEC school, join a frat and major in finance if they want.
Their admission process sounds fair to me. Much better than our system.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandes_écoles
To be admitted into most of the French Grandes Écoles, most students study in a two-year preparatory program in one of the CPGE (see below) before taking a set of competitive national exams. Different exams are required by groups (called "banques") of different schools. The national exams are sets of written tests, given over the course of several weeks, that challenge the student on the intensive studies of the previous two years. During the summer, those students who succeed in the written exams then take a further set of exams, usually one-hour oral exams, during which they are given a problem to solve. After 20 minutes of preparation, the candidate presents the solution to a professor, who challenges the candidate on the answer and the assumptions being made. Afterwards, candidates receive a final national ranking which determines admission to their Grandes Écoles of choice.

If you separate out the merit based students, this is almost certainly correct. We have a much bigger population and also international students to draw from.
This is about teaching values, such as patriotism/duty to country, and having a purely merit-based system.
In many ways it would be a stress relief for those aspiring to an elite education. No need to worry about BS activities and volunteer work.

+1 on need for civics.
-1 on need for rigor.
People don't need to be human computers or databases anymore.
