I’d say in the United States, there is a HUGE disparity in education. The bottom 98% of US high schoolers aren’t competitive for any good schools with shit GPAs and playing Fortnite. But the top 0.5-1% of United States high schoolers are absolutely insane in the sense that anything below division 1 level sporting, 4.0 GPA, 1540 SAT, and owning a national impact business or university curated published research is considered subpar for admission into top schoolsUS problems. Well not problems at all since what I've seen academic standards are very low in most american high schools
Compared to say UK and China where it’s not only the top 1-2% of students that are actually decently smart and study hard, but the entire young population has their shit together. But the people at the top in competitive admissions for colleges in the US mog everyone else to oblivion. There’s a reason why top students from Europe and Asia all want to go to top American universities and not the other way around… Maybe top 5 UK universities are arguably the exception and up there with the United States T20, and that’s debatable
