Make it 100% achievement. Any differences in background must be supplemented with aggressive college prep programs so the bar isn't weakened for some. It's the only way to remain globally competitive. And abolish legacy.

(Don't get a JD unless set on a particular practice because the field is overflowing. Consider MD or DDS first.)

Magnet programs operating from kindergarten on are one possible solution. The problem is that these programs are being effectively phased out because less-astute normals are insulted that everyone doesn't qualify. Which is the inverse precise equivalent of eliminating special ed programs.

Most criticism I've heard of them is that they suck up a disproportionate amount of funding.

"Suck up"? I went to magnet elementary school. There were more art and music teachers.

The average additional expenditure per pupil for magnet schools is $200/year out of $12.5k.
