>Or do you just want to be entitled to the good college in exchange for the childhood your parents chose to give/were coerced into giving you?
It should generally be noted that such policies usually do not hurt the truly well-connected as much as the nouveau riche, who fought their way from poverty to a home in the suburbs only to find their investment pulled out from under them. For instance, black families were disproportionately affected by the subprime mortgage crisis. One way or another, society told these people "do this", they complied, and they face being punished for it. Not to perceive an injustice here is wilful blindness.
The policy is quite defensible, but grandparent's concerns are legitimate and do not warrant sarcasm.
