Harvard's Legacy Admissions:
A handhake louder than any essay.
U. of Tokyo's Exam Gatekeeper:
Mother's rice balls, quieter than any lecture, fuel the fight.
Handshake or gatekeeper --both wear the mask of merit.

Harvard says legacy doesn’t matter.
Funny how the dorms still look like high school reunions

Examination hell, American style:
no cram school, no late-night bentos—
just a family crest and a handshake.
