&gt;Attending an elite school like MIT is not even a 1%&#x27;er thing, it&#x27;s a 0.1% thing.<p>No. If you&#x27;re insanely hard working, passably smart and somehow lucky, you can get in. I knew someone like that - and she reported that she was one of the dumber people there. If 0.1% have their kids there, these are not slacking at all.<p>&gt; test for getting in is so gameable and rigged that almost no one pretends it isn&#x27;t anymore.<p>SAT tests are rigged?
