College admissions offices are asking applicants to jump through a new hoop — a cross between “Survivor” and “The Hunger Games” that seems designed to thwart the Supreme Court’s ruling on affirmative action in education.

High schoolers applying to top schools like Columbia and Vanderbilt are being asked to take part in “dialogues” via Zoom to compete against other students on their levels of compassion, empathy and “open-mindedness.”

Participants rank each other after “exchanging views” on trending topics like immigration and climate change, and the recorded session is uploaded as part of the admissions package.

Imagine your collegiate fate being determined by fellow applicants who don’t have your best interests at heart but their own, bringing their own biases and agendas to the table.

Other high-school seniors you’ve never met will judge you not on how well you debate them on controversial ideas, but on your demeanor, your decorum and the views you espouse.

Would anyone on a call like that be willing to risk a coveted spot in the freshman class by engaging in a spirited, genuine exchange — or by speaking their own mind, if their views go against the grain?

Fat chance: More likely, kids........
