Lol. I had a US Congressman write a personal reference for me because I went to the right schools with the right kids. It’s so much more hackable.

A high SAT score is like a ripped body: you can spend money on coaches, and they can help, but ultimately you need to lift the weight yourself.

A privileged background gives you the opportunity to prepare.

I will get an sat tutor for my kids for sure and help them focus on it when the time comes. Opportunity requires a prepared mind.
