This chapter explores the evolving criteria for admissions at elite institutions, advocating for a focus on passion and expertise rather than mere prestige. It highlights the implications of a recent Supreme Court decision on race in admissions, urging a shift to a meritocratic process that values socioeconomic background and individual accomplishments. The discussion challenges the traditional elitist culture associated with prestigious schools, proposing a broader recognition of talent and skills in both admissions and hiring practices.
