The deserving poor get bombarded with mail from colleges that want to take them (and they should beware of the money trap that drops them an inch from the finish line).
The people who get screwed in all of this are the other students who are made to look bad because this Hollywood person’s unserious kid sails on through their college experience while everyone else struggles. A further downside is that any networking opportunities will be going to this already connected person.
This is going to harm because it will deny opportunity to new people with good ideas and will instead keep society stuck with increasingly unfit elites. It sort of reminds me of what they say about science advancing one death at a time, only it would be like passing the chair to the scientist’s kid regardless of their ability instead of going with a new person.
This is just another aristocrisy. Nothing we haven’t seen before.
When we were looking for scholorships for our white kids who graduated in the top of their HS and tops in state UIL, it was a total joke. If they were dumb and minority, especially illegal, they’d get a free ride. Proof from daughter’s illegal roommate, free 4 year ride.
