The bootstrap theory was always for those looking on the outside.

It’s beyond offensive, but what I hope comes out of this is a well deserved discounting of the value of an elite education. Sure you can get amazing academic opportunities at an Ivy, but it’s no different than anywhere else where hustle and grit should open far more doors.

The US has a rigged economy that benefits, almost exclusively, the rich.

It is also entirely unclear that the $AT is even predictive of college success at all. The BEST predictor are grades. $ATs may correlate with success freshman year. May. Huge waste of time and money. Better for a kid to read a book or learn a language or volunteer.

Agree and the SAT and ACT should be abolished as data for admission to college. No correlation between SAT/ACT scores and success in college.

Also note how affluent high schools offer SAT prep at no or low cost. Another those who gots-get-more facts of life. And, without college experience in the family, you might not know about the importance of SAT prep, even if you could afford it.

Not only do the 1% get BIGG tax breaks, they lie and bribe elite schools, then list it as a contribution on their damn taxes! Now they will APOLOGIZE and suffer no consequences for their dirty deeds!

Everyone I know who has gotten miles ahead of their counterparts in this country has done so by not playing fair and not following the rules/laws. TRUTH.
