A counter point 3 of my friends who had no money from India got accepted into Harvard purely on the merit of their talents. Same with the son of a blue collar worker here. You have conveniently setup a shield in your head where this ceiling will never let you break it. Well, how about you look inside and grow yourself ? Instead of calling yourself not a part of the "elite".
- akhilcacharya 7y ago"Merit" doesn't exist and can't be defined. Anyways I doubt anybody from India with "no money" can get into Harvard. ("No money" in India means begging on the streets or subsistence farming..)
- mav3rick 7y agoThey couldn't afford to pay the fees. They got full rides.
- akhilcacharya 7y agoBarely anybody in India can pay $60k a year (30x GDP per capita) of course they’d get full rides! That doesn’t mean “no money”, it just means “probably upper middle to upper class”.
- mav3rick 7y agoI know people who have paid . Upper class can be very rich too.
