> At least the single mom in Philly won't have the fact that she didn't go to Stanford completely invalidate her as a potential candidate

And when will the single mom in Philly find the time to memorize as many (or more, after all, its a competitive market) default-interview-questions, as someone born into wealth whith lots of free time on their hands and the financial resources to pay someone specializing in prepping them for exactly these interviews?

So, what did really change?

I don't see how this invalidates my original point, can you expand on your argument?

What's the prerequisite for getting good at these questions? Practice and Memorizing.

What resource is required to do that? Time.

What resource is in short supply to the Philly single mom?

Ok, so which comparatively-paying job is a better choice for her then?
