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.

There are recent TikTok videos about this. MRS degrees are elementary education degrees where you snag a STEM man. One example: https://www.tiktok.com/@laurizzlem1/video/7177936385528171819

I generally consider the schools where there are a lot of rich but non-academically performing kids. The very top schools have more money around to filter out these out in place of the top performers.

Colby
SMU
University of Richmond
Miami
Middlebury
Williams
Sweetbriar
Hampden Sydney
In the past, Vandy, but the academics have improved and it’s a harder admit now.

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.

PP here, I do actually on the buy side. I’ve only met one Bucknell grad in nyc finance and it wasn’t even through work and they work in compliance. Totally dishonest to suggest Bucknell is a viable school for finance.

I visit these threads only to seek the Bucknell/"The Street" poster. It's like seeing an urban coyote!

Salve Regina is an interesting school.

What am I missing about Salve Regina? Why do rich kids want to attend?

Sailing! Waterfront! and other rich average kids who aren't pushed hard

Yes, and High Point. Rollins. Elon.

Vandy doesn't belong in this sentence. It has the stats of 3-4 Ivies now and has for a good while. 1930 Vanderbilt, sure, but that would also be true of places like Brown and Penn

Georgetown, AU (less so but still above average); University of Edinburgh in Scotland; DUKE in the US, Stanford.

Back in the day there were a lot of very wealthy international kids at AU. As in major wealth

Did you just lump in Williams and Middlebury with Sweetbriar and U of Richmond? Not even the same universe.
