How wealth and legacy status impact admissions

Michelle Obama’s speech at the 2024 Democratic National Convention

Kamala has shown her allegiance to this nation. Not by spewing anger and bitterness, but by living a life of service, and always pushing the doors of opportunity open to others.

She understands that most of us will never be afforded the grace of failing forward. We will never benefit from the affirmative action of generational wealth.

Rich folk are also good at gaming all the other criteria (varsity sports, extracurricular achievements). “opportunity hoarding” I think is the term that’s been used, or resume padding. It’s also about being able to pay full tuition.
