Meritocracy

There are too many morons in “top schools” because of legacy, DEI, student athletics, and woke administrators. Similarly, most “top” banking/consulting analysts are DEI, nepotism and people who paid consultants to help them with recruiting. It’s almost like these institutions are trying to destroy their own reputations. How senior do you have to go for them to start caring primarily about merit, or is it still just office politics?
