That suggests that these are not WASP types with old money. So the parents of these Dalton kids were able to break into the upper echelons somehow, probably through sheer hard work, determination, and intelligence.

I know tins of east and south asian multi-multi millionaires in NYC. New money hedge fund/PE people. It's not just wasp's these days who can be rich. That said, I agree w/ your bigger point. Why are these kids winning at the college lottery at Dalton vs. DC private school asian kids who did struggle this year with just one or two exceptions at our local DC private school

perhaps the NYC parents of asian kids donated more to colleges. Or perhaps those schools just have better college process/rigor/reputations w/ top 30 schools that our vaunted DC schools do

IME the only place that still has that "old WASPY money" vibe in NYC is Chapin and the K-8 boys schools (excluding Allen Stevenson)

Pretty much that. Def St David's.

What’s the st. Bernard’s vibe?

I’m not sure exactly where the kids of Katie Holmes, Sarah Jessica Parker, Emily Blunt (if they’re back in NYC now), Drew Barrymore, Tina Fey etc go to school in NYC, but presumably top NYC privates. And I bet they’re far from the wealthiest parents of kids at those schools when you take into account NYC finance parents. Unlike DC privates that have a lot of civil servants making $180k/year.

None of these kids go to remotely competitive privates, signed NYC private school parent.

Wrong. Tina Fey's daughter goes to Brearley.

Drew Barrymore’s DDs do too, but more importantly, keep in mind that they are Ari Kopelman’s granddaughters.

Laypeople have never heard of the NESCAC schools & any other school that lacks a dominant football or basketball team. You can pretend that doesn’t matter, but it does during HR resumé screening.

Employers and grad schools know NESCAC schools. Who cares if Joe and Jane Doe do not

Plenty of employers do not, and the back-office, HR paper pusher who went to a state school hasn’t.

Yeah, I guess the employer at Joe's Diner does not.

While I recognize the NESCACs, I would also rank them rather low.

Nescac grads don’t apply to jobs thru normal means

They get it thru the nescac network (and yes, nescac alums def help each other out big time…it’s very incestuous)

Nescacs if anything are underrated

Most employers outside DC/Boston/NYC haven’t heard of the NESCAC schools
