Schools that you think of as rich kid schools. If you’re MC, will your dc fit in?

Your entire list of schools is accurate in that each has a lot of rich kids enrolled.

OP, based on your concern as illustrated by this thread, why is your child considering these schools ?

Dp this is such a weird question

My perhaps unfair impression is that these schools have a lot of wealthy entitled kids

Wrong? Sort of right?

Wrong none of these are where the ultra rich send their kids.

UMiami gets a lot of unwarranted hate but they will have a Trump granddaughter and a Bezo stepson next year. Doesn't get much richer than that.

Agree on Skidmore. The two people I know from the wealthiest families (like own half of Connecticut wealthy) went there.

Good add with High Point but it is really the school for 'midd' rich kids. Bottom 25% type of kid because the others have much stronger options.

Rollins College. For a long time, it has been a destination for the NYC private school set.

Wake was already kind of snooty when I was there in the 90s. Now that it costs $90k and they give very little aid …

That’s funny you’d say that. I’m from FL and know people who went there from my high school. I was surprised that there were kids from NY and NJ there. But yeah, you’re right.
