Were you objectively more deserving to go to college than a kid with stellar teacher recommendations but lower scores? You might think so, but others would disagree. When I hire, I choose a trusted colleague's referral over the candidate who happened to cram best to do binary trees on a whiteboard.

I love it that you make your candidates go through binary trees questions on a whiteboard AND are totally dismissive of it at the same time. That's totally not a waste of everyone's time.
