The best Universities in the world are that because the top students go there and because the rich buy their way in and "donate" back.

 

It's as simple as that

Maybe the top students used to go there. They really don't need "top" students anymore.  The real Ivy league degrees for smart and accomplished people are post grad. Undergrad degrees from Harvard  certainly open doors but they aren't that big a deal anymore.

Someone mentioned that people look down on affirmative action students as if they don't belong. However, just because you are a person of color or lower income doesn't mean you were admitted under lower standards. It's why a lot of minorities, my daughter included, wish to do away with affirmative action so that they aren't seen as unworthy. 

You can decline to check the box that indicates your race.  Did your daughter?  I bet not.
