[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a wasp here’s my 2 cents: 
Princeton and Dartmouth over all the other ives -too leftist
All NESCACs
Seven sisters
UVM
Pine Manor
(Let me think by state)
Bucknell, F&M, CM is a good school but doesn’t have that snob appeal
The Quakers
UVA, HS, W&L URichmond Hollins
Wake is meh …
UNC
Duke - too many Yankees mixes up the status quo
Elon- too popular
AppState -boho in a good way
Rhodes- lots of strive-y yankee moms want their girls to go there
Sewanee- NOT
Vandy - I guess
UTK- lots of drinking
SpringHill College
Maybe Kenyon
Don’t know much about anything further west in terms of snob appeal. 
[b]Visited SMU once, kids looked too goody- goody and clean, it’s a dry campus etc no fun[/b]!
It’s just harder and colder in the east coast

Are you sure you’re not thinking about Baylor?  SMU kids are anything but goody-goody.  There is a big drug culture there.[/quote]

I"m the first PP who mentioned SMU. You know what else is at SMU? The scions of -old- Texas money. Multigenerational wealth.

Yes, I am well aware that a holey sweater headband Mayflower gin-drinking NE Brahmin is not the same thing as a descendant of a Houston oil family that first cornered the Texas oil market in 1900 (and never let up). This group doesn't "need" the meritocratic degree from a Princeton to continue the family legacy and SMU is a pleasant,comfortable gathering spot until you assume your role in the company.
