    At places like Princeton, Harvard, or USC, a big chunk of what most people are paying for is access to a bunch of young rich kids while they are intoxicated and emotionally open.

    You can make really strong bonds with people in college, and being able to promote that children of prominent rich people attend your college is a value-add for the university far beyond the discounted tuition.

    So this doesn’t give me any particular clue about the intelligence or diligence of these kids.

    It would be hilarious if they were all community colleges that accept all applicants though. 😆
