English term
to seem more exclusive than it really is
English to Chinese
Bus/Financial
Business/Commerce (general)
THE BEST American universities wish to be ruthlessly discriminating on academic merit—and beacons for diversity on everything else. Trying to accomplish both at once can prompt mistakes. Lately Columbia University, an Ivy League member in New York, has been making a lot of them. Last year it admitted to submitting incorrect data to a collegerankings outfit in a bid [to seem more exclusive than it really is]. And on March 1st, in a bid to seem more inclusive than it is, Columbia said it would drop the requirement for applicants to submit standardised exam scores.

夸大它的精英定位
“exclusive”对应的应该是原文开头的“ruthlessly discriminating on academic merit”,也就是说这所学校想给予外界一种所有学生都是百里挑一的假象。
