You don't need a billion dollars to have an elite background. No one in the top ten is a rags-to-riches story. Plenty of elite universities and family connect

- jpadkins 7y agoplease don't strawman. I never said rags-to-riches. I said upper middle class (25th percentile). Elite universities take great students from upper middle class, and many of those billionaires did not graduate from elite universities.
- akhilcacharya 7y agoEh...you probably can't get into an elite university without already being elite unless you're a recruited athlete or have another "hook". Normal, middle class kids don't win ISEF or math olympiads unless their parents are professors or something.
- mav3rick 7y agoMany kids do. Just because you didn't doesn't mean others don't.
