@NoKillli I would seriously doubt that even most math majors at Harvard remembers the Math 55 course. I can barely remember the names of my courses as I graduated from college many decades ago. That said, you may/may not have gotten feedback that wasn’t so nice. I have seen that many times on CC. But there are soo many helpful and kind people. I don’t think that the elite notion of coasting from daddy’s trust fund into Harvard doesn’t exist ( it does) but it no longer fills the entire class. Now there are many other ways for kids to gain entrance into great schools and there are more great schools because there are more competent college bound kids than ever before.
I see a lot of people knocking down others based on their social standing. Attacks on kids who just want to get a great education get attacked by some CC who will say “get real or you can’t afford that” etc. Some wealthy kids get attacked for having it so easy that they will gain an upper hand and some athletes are attacked for taking the spot of academic kids. The reality is, college admissions are competitive. And when it comes to money and power, very few people are kind. It’s gloves off because they can’t see you or your son and see what he wants to do in life. But remember all parents just want their kids to be happy and do well so they can pay their bills.
