    But as I realized that in this new world I was the culture alien, I began to think seriously about questions that had nagged at me since I was a teenager: Why has on one else from my high school made it to the Ivy League? Why are people like me so poorly represented in America's elite institutions? Why is domestic so common in families like mine? Why did I think that places like Yale and Harvard were so unreachable? Why did successful people feel so different?
