Both of my children got into elite universities only because they had good grades and excelled on the ACT and SAT tests.
They can’t compete with Kennedy kids, Biden kids or the legacy children of other elites when it comes to prep school resumes or exciting extracurricular trips and projects in exotic locales, and their parents’ and grandparents’ contributions to the schools, but they are darn well smarter, more disciplined and appreciative of their opportunity for an education than these spawn of the wealthy liberal snobs.

Our grandkids aced the ACT and SAT and are terrific with math.
One was accepted here and the other by a major Eastern University. One was graduated and became an RN. The other has a nice job offer when he is graduated.
Our nieces/nephews all got into good colleges, were graduated and have good jobs. They aced the ACT/SATs.
