The stat I heard was that 29% of poor students who finish with an A in high school finish college, which is the same rate that rich students who finish with the same average as George W. Bush do. Money seriously helps the mediocre.

There were 401 kids in my high school graduating class. 80 of then went to Pitt. Only 4 of them including me graduated in 4 years. Most of them flunked out. I realized what a plus it was to have read the Great Books of the Western World in the town library. Reading the books really opened my mind.
