Here’s my suggestion:
Require a resume to be part of the application process. If the applicant can show that they have a steady, stable, useful work history that is showing a consistent work history and ethic, it will prove that the student will not be wasting the university’s time and resources.
Young ladies who want to find a husband can attend finishing school and have parents arrange a match for them while those who haven’t figured themselves out can go around the world or work while discovering who they are. There’ll be less disruptions and less problems and less troublemakers.

Unfortunately, minimum wage regulations are destroying the ability of youth to take on low-skill jobs whereby they could create their own documented history of steady, stable, useful work.
Come to think of it, that’s precisely why there’s so much pressure for college attendance now: since youth are practically prohibited from learning marketable skills from the ground up by working (starting at $0/hr), they have to pay inordinate fees to spend years learning legal skills (to wit: worth more than minimum wage) in the classroom.
