Random comment in response to that, I know a guy that was a frickin genius, the only white guy in a sea of Asians winning national math competitions. Didn’t get into MIT undergrad, did his PhD there though. Undergrad admissions to elite schools are more about checking boxes than actual intelligence, if you aren’t a minority or a donor family and weren’t the president of the Save the Whales club in high school, good luck.

This is very true as the "pay for play" involving Lori Loughlin proved. Don't think this doesn't go on all the time around the country. Rich people get their kids into elite schools no matter if they deserve the spot or not.
