I'm in my 40s and went to one of them Ivy schools. There were legacies. There were affirm action kids that clearly weren't at the same level as others. But I didn't mind. They all studied hard, and harder than others because they knew. They knew how they got it, and they knew that even smart kids flunk out. IMHO, this is more of a broader trend that has more to do with poor parenting. I went through schooling systems in HK, Korea, America at very different ages. Parents didn't dare meddling with how teachers taught. Teachers were the rule of law. Got B+? Well, tough shit. Did you take advantage of all the professor and teacher assistant office hours? Yes? Sorry but maybe you're just not as good as others taking the same course. (My own experience taking Comp sci 100)
