Elite universities are institutional sites for cultivating elite identities, and for shaping elite understandings of merit, inequality, and race. What happens to privileged children s understandings of deservingness when they have won the most competitive game they ve entered so far, the college admissions process? How do they make sense of those who fail to gain admission? Natasha Warikoo explores what merit means to students at Harvard, Brown, and Oxford Universities. What she found surprised her.
