Man my only request to my son is that he can take care of himself financially when he grows up.

Shocking if that's all accurate. Or perhaps not considering the regression to who-you-know and money as filters in Ivy admissions.

A young family member of my partner just got accepted to Yale without having money or connections, so IDK anymore.

I don't know how difficult is the admission in US college but the achievements of the son are a bit too much to be believable
