I mean of course they expect them to go though.That's not how it works. The kids who make those teams are selected. That means, outside of a few incredible talents, they've already had significant parenting and coaching to get to that point.
Its extremely rare that some kid off the street gets to that level. More often than not, their father played and coached them from a young age. Or their father made a number of sacrifices to learn the game, learn the system, and get them to that point.
That's Vivek's point. None of this is accidental.
This is partially true. Microsoft, Google and others will recruit kids out of high-school and offer to pay for their university education. They still expect them to go.
The other thing is, they are only doing that for highly talented students...meaning students who were parented correctly in the first place. They don't just go after some "smart kid off the street" and turn him into a world class engineer.
And yeah, there were other things that go/ went into it. HS grades, specific classes, internships at the company, application for the scholarships or essays, etc. i know for a fact that it was mostly an internship she did during the summer for multiple years.
