[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]

Gates, Zuckerberg and Obama all went to top private schools. Obama got into Occidental and later transferred to Columbia. Bezos went to River Oaks school for middle school which again is in an expensive part of Houston. So they all came from privilege.  [/quote]

Clinton went to Georgetown. Not one person on here from a non-target school[/quote]
