This whole thing is about who deserves the opportunity for higher education.
The truth is, except for a small handful of schools (whose seats are mostly already spoken for, either through donors, athletes, or the elite prodigies who are going to get in regardless of their socioeconomic background) it is almost irrelevant whether or not you go to school A or school B in the long run.
Your grit, your personal talents, your luck/karma/destiny etc are basically what carry you through anyway.
Anyone who blames their failure in life on “some kid took my seat at Harvard because adversity score” probably doesn’t have what it takes to make it anyway.
