Success
Success today typically involves some form of higher education, to expand intellectual capacity and to hone a skill-set.
However, the highest quality education is not the most easily accessible. And so, this infographic takes a look at how the elite tend to fare well, and how the disadvantaged aren’t provided the same opportunities.

Immigration Laws a Challenge to Potential Podiatry Student
The far-reaching immigration debate in Florida and the nation has been going on for years, but until last week, the plight of students like Wendy Ruiz — an aspiring podiatrist — had been largely invisible.
Born and raised in Miami, Ruiz is a U.S. citizen. But in the eyes of Florida’s higher education system, she’s a dependent student whose parents are undocumented immigrants — and not considered legal Florida residents.
As such, Ruiz is charged higher-priced out-of-state tuition, even though she has a Florida birth certificate, Florida driver’s license and is a registered Florida voter.

LEGACY Admissions
Critics of college/university legacy admissions argue the practice disproportionately favors white, wealthy applicants and takes admissions spots away from those who are less privileged, but academically more deserving.
At Johns Hopkins University, which started phasing out legacy preference in 2014 and completely nixed it in 2019, the proportion of accepted students whose parents were alumni more than halved from 2013 to this year, while its share of first-generation students more than doubled.
In a civil case that accused Harvard of discriminating against Asian American applicants in 2018, an economist hired by the plaintiffs said that Harvard accepted legacy applicants at a rate 5x higher than it did nonlegacy applicants. Over one-third of Harvard’s Class of 2022 had alumni parents.
Proponents of legacy admissions encourage donations and grant money.
