Are you talking about college or are you talking about Harvard? The VAST majority of kids get into college without SAT prep classes or fancy private schools or "leadership" camps. Want to go to Harvard? Then you had better be plenty smart and work plenty hard. And even then it is a crap shoot. Lots of these rich kids DON'T get into their elite schools - there is no sure thing. (Haven't we been reading their posts for the last month?) My advice: quit worrying about what "rich kids" have and make the most of what you have. Whatever YOU achieve you will come by "honestly," through your own perserverence and character (and not Daddy's checkbook!) Good luck to you!
