It's pretty simple really. The rich folks in our country want to send their kids to Hahvahd to build more good ol' boys connections. They hire expensive tutors to get their kids acceptable test scores, send them to very expensive private schools that pipeline in. Let admissions have a few underrepresented minorities to appease the public. Let a couple brilliant azns in too to give false hope.
If the azns blow the doors off of this, then the wealth pipeline is in danger. So it won't happen.
edit: forgot to mention the huge donations to the school, and the quenching the thirst of white guilt.
