Should Universities Lower Admission Requirements for Celebrities? In recent years, it is not rare to hear that some leading universities lower their admission requirements for celebrity students, such as film stars, pop singers and Olympic medal winners. As a result, more and more celebrities are accepted into the universities, many of who even needn’ t take the College Entrance Examination. Confronted with the above-mentioned facts, people take diametrically opposite views: some regard it as a win-win situation for both the universities and the celebrities while others think it goes against the principle of fairness. Siding with the former, I maintain that it is a wise move on the part of the universities to lower admission requirements for celebrities. First of all, it is reasonable and understandable to lower admission requirements to enroll celebrities if they have made significant contributions to our society or country. Whether it is breaking a world record in sports or winning an international reward in filming, they deserve respect for their achievement. In this case, when they apply for an opportunity to receive higher education, why should universities shut them out only because they have gained fewer points than the average students in the entrance examination? Secondly, celebrity students are positive role models for their fellow students. It goes without saying that successful people are often tough nails with strong determinations. They are often self-assured, hardworking and persevering. Their stories of success can stimulate fellow students to follow their examples and to get ahead in their own chosen fields. Then, how comes lowering admission requirements for celebrities both violates our society’s sense of fair play and hurts the feeling of the hard-working students. Thirdly, universities can also enhance their reputation by enrolling celebrities. For one thing, since celebrities are always the targets for various media, their studies and life on campus will easily become the hot topic of journalists, and this will in turn gain publicity for the universities. For another, since celebrity students are always those who rise to fame for brilliant achievements in a certain field, they can win more honors to their universities by using their advantages in various competitions between schools. Considering the above analyses, bending the rules for celebrity students benefits the favored individuals, the student body, as well as the universities. Therefore, I agree that universities should lower admission requirements for celebrities.
