[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you were a gen x, boomer or elder millenial who attended a t10 school, how did you not get into top 1%

Like the well trodden path coupled with the greatest equity boom in the history of the market means that schools are right to give side eyes to alums who aren’t top 1% but also didn’t go into something like teaching at a school

Like if you are a gen x, and attended Penn (to use an example) - you have to really have been clueless or messed up not to be in the top .5%

You had access to top firms, then the bull market for 30 years would supercharged your financial position further

Can you please expound on what you are saying here keeping it tied to the data a little better? I don't [i]think[/i] your logic makes a lot of sense but want to be sure.[/quote]

So if I’m sitting at Penn in admission or development office, and I see larlo/larla are CAS ‘96 and didn’t come from family wealth - so obviously had to work — and now their kid is applying to Penn now  but not in the top 1% —  i would be puzzled as to what larlo/larla did with their Penn degree/opportunity given to them in the mid 90s

I would be concerned that this fam took an opportunity from someone else who would’ve better used their Penn degree

Fair point. If that’s what university priorities are, then yeah, I’d be concerned as well. 
And not offer admission [/quote]

Do you think then ivies judge their legacies differently? Meaning if not high earning etc, then they were “wasted”?

Maybe you are right but no one has ever said that.[/quote]
