[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid B may have a better chance of getting into a high ranked college because they “stand out” at a mediocre school but will be less prepared to actually do well in college and may either flunk out or have to switch majors to an easier one. [/quote]

Kid A couldn’t even complete an AP class without hovering parents and tutors.   Kid B did the work without any outside help.

Professors will see Kid Bs potential and will do what’s  Necessary to keep Kid B on track.  Kid A will blend in with the dozens of kids who don’t have many of the skills that Kid B has.  Kid B has had to get work done on his own and at the same time make money to help his family. Kid B came home to an empty house every day while Kid A was picked up after school and driven to the tutors or math school or “sports” or whatever mom has scheduled.

Kid A has no idea that people like Kid B are out there.   They are the valedictorians of public city schools.  The naturally gifted, self motivated, hard working first generation of immigrants that will surpass Kid A in so many ways that  matter.   Jobs that are all about money will still be full of Kid As.   Kid Bs will be doing the important work. [/quote]
