I went to a rich public high school in my area by submitting a bunch of (non cheating) essays/test scores etc. The school that served my zip code, that I would’ve gone to otherwise, had had a fatal drive-by shooting my last year of middle school, and my mom wanted me to go to the school where 98% of students went on to four-year colleges.

I went from being a working class white kid with friends in a school that was 75% Latino and 95% free lunch to a school where I knew no one and kids got new Porsches for their 16th birthdays. My chemistry teacher used to taunt me with “you don’t want to go to a loser UC, do you?” I mean, I dunno, UC Berkeley and UC San Diego may be the best of the UCs, but the rest of them don’t exactly suck. I had a classmate who said with perfect confidence, “I’m going to Berkeley, my parents have an auditorium named after them there.”

Yeah, what these woman who I’ve never seen in anything did was entitled as fuck. But it was no worse than kids whose parents donated millions or whose every ancestor went to an Ivy, or even the ones who paid for years of SAT/ACT test prep courses and then for their kids to retake the test 10 times. I managed a 1410 on my first go round when the top score was 1600, and was happy to get into a “loser” UC.
