[quote=Anonymous]I think alumni connections for top private schools are over-rated (and I went to one, though not in this area). Unlike college or graduate school, where you are likely to socialize with others with similar career interests, the kids you went to high school with are unlikely to end up in your same professional circle. In terms of social connections, there are a couple "hard core" families from my school that certainly form a tight-knit inner circle, but most of the rest of us haven't stayed in touch with more than one or two close friends other than through facebook (though I am facebook friends with 90% of the people in my graduating class). I attended middle school at a highly regarded public school, and as far as I can tell, those who stayed in public through high school are just as connected to their high school classmates (if not more so), who are just as prosperous and successful as my private school cohort. (For context, I grew up in a wealthy NY suburb)[/quote]
