[quote=Anonymous]I actually think that the elite colleges give the biggest boost to low income or first Gen students who have the academic chops for the college and get a free ride. For the wealthy and connected, the same colleges are sort of just another gate or rite of passage. They are there to rub elbows with other wealthy students some of whom they pRobably already know depending on their family circles. I think the kids who fare the worst are MC kids like OP who might take on debt for the opportunity, but they lack the social awareness or connections to do anything meaningful with the experience simply bc they just don’t have the context for what’s at play. They think it’s for a college degree. [/quote]
