The best and brightest can use the amazing opportunities available at a large number of schools to pursue their passions.

They don't have to end up at the perfect school, marry the very best person, or get the job of their dreams to still be successful.

If you want a meritocratic admissions system, move to China or the UK.


This is an example of just how how stupid people. Chinas system is massively affected by wealth with few from poor areas able to attend the better universities. In the UK they give large preferences to kids from public schools because otherwise all of the spots at top schools would be filled by private school kids. Thanks for highlighting your ignorance.

I love your earnest- and accurate- response to a rage bait poster.


Everyone needs a hobby.

Starting off this rant about others' stupidity with a childish grammar error is comical.


I'm pretty sure that they nailed it. Quit deflecting.

When the trust is gone, the system collapse. Doesn't matter where.

Who are the best and brightest who you think are not being educated?

Is MIT/Caltech not educating the best and the brightest by all traditional standards, including those of India/China/UK?

Wow, I guess some of you guys just went on full tilt when your DC’s SCEA/REA/ED results didn’t pan out. Me thinks your “best and brightest” will end up just fine, Asian Nova mom.
