Snobby people who went to prestigious secondary schools and crappy colleges

[Anonymous]

I've been meeting all these snooty parents who try so hard to get their kids into prestigious elementary and high schools. Several of them went to these schools but went to crappy colleges (second tier or worse). DH and I went to HYP and are trying to decide between public and private. We have friends who attended Exeter and Andover type schools but they are down to earth. We earn $1 million+ per year so we can easily afford private school but these attitudes are really turning us off.

What are these people so snobby about?

Crappy colleges?

Second tier or worse?.

Who is snobby?

Check yourself OP. No matter if you choose public or private you are NOT going to make any friends with opinions like these. Gag.

LMAO. Only you have earned the right to be a snooty snob, right, OP? Because you went to HYP? (So was it H, Y or P? Surely you didn't go to all three.)

Ooooooooh, OP.

1) Many people send the children to private schools for reasons other than attending HYP.
2) Many students at private schools are looking for colleges that are the right fit, not simply the most prestigious.
3) Attending a non HYP-college does not mean that the private school (parents or child, for that matter) have failed.

We are not snobby. I actually think most people we knew in the Northeast were down to earth. DC feels like it is full of social climbers.

There is no social life in DC so... Not social climbers. But yes people are trying to stab you in the back ... Welcome to inside the beltway. You need to get out of your tiny bubble and meet some real people. But you already know that because you went to HPY.

WTF do you consider "second tier"? Penn and Columbia? Amherst and Williams? Stanford?

Your friends in NE are just descendants of carpetbaggers. The people you are talking about are actually carpetbaggers. See the difference?

One of you at Harvard, the other one at Yale? Or both of you at both? If so, why not also at Princeton? This raises questions.

What are these people so snobby about?

Shorter OP: Why are all these people snobby, when they have nothing to be snobby about, unlike my husband and me, who aren't snobby even though we actually do have something to be snobby about?
