It is not enough to say “I started the environmental club.” The bar is: “I led a restoration project, secured a third-party grant, published peer-reviewed research, and earned a recommendation from a community leader who worked directly alongside me for over a hundred hours.”
Wealthy may not been 100% correlated with well connected, but there’s a lot of overlap. And being well connected is wayyy more useful than any fucking phone or LLM for the presented examples.
When I was a kid my parents were too broke and too busy for us to involve ourselves in extracurricular activities. It wasn’t until the latter half of my senior year of high school I was able to convince them to let me anything of that sort.
I guess with the model at least you guarantee very small class sizes.
