"After Credentials" (Paul Graham)

<p>Sorry to hear that, but it was back then. Today, top schools are more than egalitarian. Today, they are stealthily running socio-economic affirmative action programs that admit less qualified poors and cover 100% of their financial need. I know my school did. I’m not complaining or anything, but to claim that the poors today take the shorter end of the college admissions stick is incredibly silly.</p>
