I suspect that, to a lessor degree, this is still true. However, it is a big improvement that the gentleman C’s may no longer be entitled to be at such a place like the big 3. But I noticed that those with the “right” inheritance and breeding tend to have more freedom in “learning for learning’s sake” (this is good), and tend to believe that "the major does not matter at all to them - which oftentimes means they flock to an easy, not so serious major (this could be bad - as this is still a mild form of gentleman’s C club.) but it generally does not cause any problem at all for these students with the right breed when they choose an easy major. This is because their families will take care of the rest as long as they graduate with any major (like what career to take, if any inspiration exists by the time they graduate).</p>
<p>DS once commented that those on the premed track (and stay on that track) were mostly from a public high school, because the grinding nature of that track does not appeal to a certain segment of student population. Even when they are completely capable of continuing on that path, they tend to try a few courses there and say “no, thanks” to that career path. Also, it seems female students tend to be more resilient on staying on this career path as compared to the male students. I heard that a club like “Political Union” which may groom our next generation of political leaders, is full of males.</p>
