[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For folk attending elite private day or boarding school (social power and money) attending elite SLACS is a simple extension of high school ... smoother transition. For those arriving from public schools transition into this "elite" environment is sometimes not as smooth for all. From the academic and intellectual perspective, those coming in having excelled in public magnet programs around the land, have no issues with the academic load at SLACS (or IVY for that matter); they are advanced and run circles around those from elite private schools around the country! That's my observations over the last half century![/quote] Top private schools tend to be much more elitist and skewed towards the wealthy than any of the top SLACs. DC reports significantly more socioeconomic diversity at their NESCAC than at their top boarding school.[/quote]
