I'm just saying that there is no merit in France.
Isn't admissions based on the prépas admissions exams? Or are you saying that there is some aspect of admissions based on legacies or other criteria?
Admissions are based on prépas result, which is based only on merit, however if you have a clear objective of doing good in prépa and have parents that know how to succeed there helps a lot.

Plus rich parents can shield you more effectively from life problems so you can focus on goals.

I don't think it is more unfair than anything else in life.
Mdrrr … and now you just discovered birth inequalities. Pls don’t try to reassure you mon coquin
Admissions are based on admission exams. No university is going to admit someone just because their daddy made a big donation to get their kids in.
Being from a family of ingénieurs, doctors or pilots doesn’t take any merit away. Kids get inspired by their parents, so it wouldn’t be surprising if they follow their parents footstep.
But yes, if you are from a family of pilots, you may have step ahead everyone else by being introduced to the field at a younger age. But you still have to put in the work required and just cannot coast along.
This is where the entrance exams come in to level the field as much as possible to give everyone a fair chance.
This graph is bullshit anyways with no source cited for the data, if misspelling of noble didn’t tell us that already. Poteau de merde.

Lol that's not true at all. Admission to these school are based on anonymous national exams. To have a family member that already went to those school for sure help, you have a coach at home.
