From what little I know of the whole education thing -- well-off parents can spend between $10,000 and $20,000 on "SAT coaches" and classes like Kaplan. Combine this prep with inflated grades and I could get a ham sandwich into Princeton.

SATs were supposed to level the playing field, but have accomplished the exact opposite. Parents willing and able to foot the bill regularly have kids scoring higher than those unable to afford the expense.
