The answer to every story about elite college admissions is to make sure every American has access to a low price high quality public education within a reasonable drive of their hometown.
The wild thing is we mostly achieved this. Then destroyed it.

This exactly. As a STEM prof, I’ve advised so many STEM majors whose parents said they need to be doctors because they can’t get a job with a humanities degree. The actual job market is telling us a very different story. Humanities majors get all the skills employers say they want.
