When Yeshivas will care about the talmidim’s future and their yidshikeit, instead of their own Kavod, the world will change.
Till then its all about $$.
not that you dont have it, but they want to keep a top name with guys they think are the top.
Tell your brother– he will get into a yeshiva that is perfect for him, and in 10 years to look where all those guys are– chances are that you will all meet in Lakewood, and half of the guys will be in a worse off situation.
Good luck!
