[quote=Anonymous]Elite colleges, in many cases, are private colleges and need money. And the tuition they charge means, inevitably, people with wealth will be significantly over-represented in these schools. To the extent that private school kids get preference over rich public school kids, that’s because (a) their parents have demonstrated willingness/ability to pay for education and/or (b) the particular school has a track record of providing well-prepared students who do well at the college, contribute $, encourage others to attend. I’m not saying it’s fair. Just pointing out that the system is more capitalistic than meritocratic. And if it were designed to be truly meritocratic, entrance exams for elite colleges would look nothing like the SATs.[/quote]
