TCU, to a certain extent but not SMU level (lots of California money coming in for all those kids who can't break through the UC system)

What is SMU like?

The girlz are foyine.

The girls look like 40 year olds who haven't aged well (too tan, too blond)

Beauty is in the beholder, just because you prefer pasty, purple hair, and nose rings doesn't make tan and blond ugly.

Saying the girls at TCU haven’t aged well is ridiculous. It’s girls that take more interest in their appearance and tend to dress for the occasion. Very different vibe than a lot of the east coast schools.

Seeking an MRS degree will do that.

No one has sought a "MRS degree" since 1962.

+1. No one even jokes about it anymore ... it's an obsolete term

Snow mound university (due to the prevalence of coke).

Bad advice. I work on Wall Street and have literally never heard of anyone who went to Bucknell. Never. If that's your goal and you want a small college, then try Williams, Colgate, maybe Barnard (with Baruch being the real secret door).

All I've ever heard of Bucknell is the drinking and Animal House frats.

Can’t tell if this is a joke or not. The kids attending are rich, the outcomes not so much.

Have you ever worked on The Street? Bucknell punches way above its weight there. Not back office, either.

Is this the alcohol talking?

Shocked no one has said Pepperdine yet.

When I think of rich kid schools I think of schools that are ONLY known for having a lot of well-off students, not Ivies, etc. which obviously have a lot of rich kids but are primarily known for academic prestige. In other words: Denison.

This is interesting, and those lists might look fairly similar today — but let's note that these stats are for the Class of 2013. The students currently applying for college are the Class of 2029.

Geez such old stats. Rendering them useless!

NYT needs to provide some updated info. I know WashU’s demographics have significantly changed since then

The nyt feature was fascinating. I do wonder if the stats have changed since then.
