[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prestige is a great substitute for talent. Ask me how I know [/quote]
 
Sure. But prestige + talent is killer.  Those who get in RD unhooked 3% acceptance rates [/quote]

The question was about future success.[/quote]

That's what I'm talking about.  The kids that are naturally very smart AND hard workers.  They got in on their own moxy and hard work---not a hook, not early, etc.  Those types have a lot of future success as they keep working.  [/quote]

Gates, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Clinton, Obama where prestige met talent.  Didn't come from privilege. Attended prestigious university, worked hard.[/quote]
Are we seriously claiming that Zuckerberg and Obama didn’t come from privilege? Zuckerberg graduated from the best boarding school in America?[/quote]
+1 Gates went to one of the most well known private schools on the west coast and had a wealthy background. Bezos is the son of an heiress and his family “gifted” him $300k to start his company. It is shameful and near propaganda to put these people anywhere close to Clinton’s name.[/quote]
