Hey Chris,

I come from a wealthy Jewish family. I have an IQ tested a couple of standard deviations above the mean and so did my sister. My sister and I both couldn't get into our target schools, which we had the GPA and test scores to get into. In her case, she was more motivated and took AP classes and acheived an above 4.0 GPA and a near-perfect 35 ACT. Interestingly, the only top school she could get into was NYU as well. Perhaps because the modern DEI policies in some cases see Jews as historically oppressed, but most others see Jews as overachievers who need to be reduced in admissions to their population numbers. She went to NYU. In my case, I was disgruntled at being oppressed on the basis of being a White man (which being Jewish did not shield me from) and dropped out of college entirely. I hope perhaps this can inform your worldview, because for now it seems distorted to me.
