He didn't want to get his kids into a college which is very easy. He didn't want them to get into an a college with exceptional teaching and high standards either, given how academically high performing his kids seem to be they could easily have gotten into any second-tier university which have basically the same standard of teaching (especially if you know how to look for / ask for it) but not the same kind of prestige.
