Agreed. Who else would be down there? VIPs, maybe?

Genes, personality and upbringing are a better indicator of success than the University one attends.

One's college room-mate can make all the difference. DC got a real dud and is depressed and hating school.

UDC is better than most think and can be a good (and cheap) choice.

The top 50% would be Asian if elite US colleges weren't racist.

If they admitted on pure merit, liberal whites who scoff at the lack of merit of legacies and athletes would immediately start whining that "it's not all about merit, HYP doesn't just want boring grade-grubbers, HYP should admit muh well-rounded child!"
