Two intelligent people--one due to his circumstances end up going to UC Merced, another ends up graduating from Harvard. Both excel in excel sheets, financial modeling, the UCMerced graduate would be working as a financial analyst at Cisco, whereas the Harvard one will be doing a similar thing at Goldman Sachs.
So, the issue is not one of smartness, as Harvard itself says in its reports, since majority of their applicants are smart anyway. That's how the filtering works for the super elite, and the 'servants' of this super elite--and this 'servant' class also also elite as well. Here, I am not using 'servant' in pejorative sense, but in the sense that one who works for super elite end up making millions a year.
