Hi Kylie –
Good point about admissions counselors not being gatekeepers. A university or college is a very complex gate, and keeping is probably not the right gerund. Maybe tending?
Thought you might enjoy my recent contrib to the college admissions maelstrom. It’s a rude parody of the SAT, called “The BSAT Official Study Guide,” just published by Running Press.
Sample pages are at the website, here:

and

The hope is to provide some relief and perspective for the kids going through the process, as well as some edgy fun to those who remember it well.
All best,
John Forster
