The only way through this is for hiring companies, government and other non-profit entities to expand some, not all, of their recruiting pool to some general admission schools. They can go to a more general admission state school and recruit a couple of its highest achieving students.
The primary reason for the hyper admissions focus at select schools has little to do with the education. Its all about access to the firms and agencies that recruit exclusively at these schools. The path to plumb Wall Street, Tech, Court Clerkships, Law and Entertainment jobs are through the selective schools.
We also need to emphasize to young people that there are plenty of paths to social success that aren't just Wall Street and the like. Working for a tooling company or a packaging company can lead to business and person success. We need more people going to work in places between the big metros too.
