Do other students benefit from the overrepresentation of the wealthiest 0.1% at T20s and top SLACs?

I went to Georgetown and I'm so confused by this. Where is this happening?


Seneca Polo Club and Battlefield Park Polo club.

Like lung cancer cares if it's Euro or the Middle East. Move on from the cigars folks.

Trickle down economics did not work. Why do you think it will work in an environment with extreme wealth-based social stratification?

Or at least we don’t live like it.

My kid definitely sees the billionaire kids at their Ivy and we are on the outside of that wealth.


You're definitely outside of that. As was pointed out above, know your place.


That seems pretty .001% to me.
This is all crazy.

That was Georgetown 30 ago too. It just wasn't on Instagram.

Elite private colleges have a lot of wealthy students and some of them have a lot of wealthy international students like Georgetown.


Seems very different than Duke, no?


Go look at the Instagrams from the Duke polo matches and see.


Duke doesn't have a polo team


Okay, so maybe young polo fans should choose a different college.


What are the good colleges with Polo teams? My kid likes horsies.

It seems in general the children of the NYC Wall Street elite and the offspring of Chinese and Middle Eastern wealth don’t really add a lot to anyone’s college experience. They stick together and don’t really engage with professors or the plebes who are the children of people with a net worth below $50 million. I’m sure there are exceptions, but they’re not really there for the education or the wanting of a good job. But it’s awesome they fill the Art History and Anthropology departments and keep them alive. Not even being cynical. We need them. Every Art History professor would agree.

So for low subscribed majors, we need the 0.01 percent. Give them the easy As so the academics can get on with their research.

Didn't seem that stupid. Is hanging with the polo match crew contributing to your student's college education in some way?

Georgetown has a sizeable wealthy Middle Eastern international student population because of their campus in Qatar (visibility). The academics aren’t too hard for them and GU needs the $$$. Carnegie Mellon, on the other hand, is too rigorous and STEM heavy for them. Not enough opportunities to signal wealth there.

I say this as someone from the Middle East, on my mom’s side.

The post that they responded too had noting to do with the polo match post. You might want to check again.
