Why are there so many morons in prep schools?

regression to the mean - I knew kids of brilliant doctors, lawyers, etc that could only muster an acceptance to Pace University. Sad!

I also know several Georgetown Prep alum - most of them will be successful no matter their intelligence level because they're so well connected. I do know a few total burnouts from GT prep, though.

Regression to the mean is almost a universal truth as it relates to the moral character of privileged white males

Wrong. It's a universal truth for entitled, privileged individuals who are accustomed to having things handed to them based simply on their "assumed" abilities. Other more evolved folk have to work to prove themselves and struggle for morsels. But you wouldn't know anything about this fact of life, would you, being that you're one of the privileged few.
