[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's an interesting article at: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ivy-league-acceptance-rate-higher-for-wealthy-lowest-for-middle-class/ According to the study, "Because these colleges currently admit students from high-income families at substantially higher rates than students from lower-income families with comparable academic credentials, they perpetuate privilege across generations." My DC at Stanford says she finds many of her fellow students to be "highly-polished cubic zirconia," as opposed to "diamonds in the rough." Many of them were pipelined into Stanford from very expensive private schools, where they were hothoused and had every benefit poured out upon them. My DC is concerned that these are future leaders who have a myopic view of society based on their lives as children of the super-rich and who are more privileged than talented.[/quote] I'm concerned too.
