Demanding social skills from 11 year olds is not exactly reasonable. Most people remember their social experiences from high school more than their calculus final or their history paper. Shouldn't one goal of any high school, including Uni, be to *help* students develop socially? If Uni turns down a student who is lacking in so-called common sense, that child will surely face more trouble in public high schools. Why should Uni discriminate against people based on their ability to communicate? Communication can be taught just as well as any other subject; its as if you're suggesting to exclude all applicants who score low on math exams.
