Former Yale admissions officer reveals secrets of who gets in

"The applicants were an impressive lot. A girl wrote a brilliant feminist essay ? worthy of Harper?s, really ? about gender and socialization, revealing that she was a phantom serial farter in public and yet no one ever suspected because of her gender."

This is why going to a crappy school has an advantage getting admitted to Yale than 70% of over achievers from IUSD

I have been saying this all along. (I didn't watch the video)
Just think of a bell curve, not every kid is going to make it to the elite school.

My 2.5 year old Mexican daughter already got her Harvard acceptance the other day. They said as long as she graduates high school from TUSD she will be guaranteed admittance.

Given the large number of ivy grads who spend all day posting on internet forums, I'd say ivies are overrated.

I disagree.  If they have a house in Irvine and have an easy job that allows them to post all day  that means the IVY degree worked >

True but on the downside, if it's your wife, she'll want to live downwind from the dump to provide on going cover for the phantom serial farting.

You know that isn't going to get better with middle age.

I did not attend any top US school and still managed a great career. At the end is more like this:
