And for decades established firms have been tumbling from their perches and replaced by new ones. I don't have stats to back that up though so I could be wrong. But even just the idea of free-riding college admission committees - if that's their idea of capturing the best candidates, then they're turning a blind eye to students who underachieve until they actually reach higher education (or who can't afford to enter institutions like Harvard anyway). Clearly they leave a gap which allows the possibility of weaker firms grabbing the best talent.
