I am at a public institution. It is less likely there than at private colleges because they have other constituents, i.e. state taxpayers, to be concerned with. But in graduate schools there are additional factors that press admissions to avoid these considerations. At MBA schools they are ranked by the GMAT's, GPA's starting salaries etc of their accepted students. They have to accept students with high GMATs, high GPA's and strong prior work experience to keep in the race.

Both places it was clear decisions were made beyond the admissions committees and that the folk "beyond our pay grade" knew what was happening.

Primarily I have oversight about whether students get into business school after two years of study at the university. Nobody gets through without the grades needed. Nobody. All marginal cases go through my committee. There is no "beyond our pay grade" kind of stuff going on.
