Disadvantages of Elite Education

[Hunt]

<p>

If a given underachiever is a scion from a well-connected and/or well-off enough family with the potential to donate millions at the drop of a hat, they may want to seek him/her out(a.k.a. Developmental/legacy admits).

Harvard considers it to be a significant achievement to be a member of such a family. (Supposedly there are limits, even for big donors, as to what the elite schools will accept in terms of academic achievements.)</p>
