I worked at a small liberal arts college for a few years that basically admitted (1) legacy students, (2) rich kids, (3) sports kids from the South (from states with no D3 football, basically), and (4) poor kids who got high SAT scores. They used (1) for history, (1) and (2) for revenue, (3) for school spirit, and (4) to boost the average SAT for the whole student body.

So many schools are doing exactly what you suggest. It is kind of weird to teach there & realize pretty quickly that the rich kids are mostly not the smart ones, to be blunt.
