It sounds unfair until you look at all this from a different angle. Lots of companies pay head hunters good money to get valuable candidates. You can think of the Ivies and the other top tier schools as 4-year head-hunting agencies. They first do a selection to see which kids have the most potential. Some of the kids have potential in the fact that they are very hard working, or extremely smart, or both. And some have potential in the fact they have a strong personal network (the legacies). On top of this selection, these universities also provide training. But that's secondary. |

I’m not sure. The variation is less among the top schools. I may not get an ace, but I won’t get the kid who just doesn’t show up one day or couldn’t write an e-mail without half a dozen typos to save their own life.
