[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chicago and JHU have about 10% students from top 1% net worth families.

Ivies have ~20% students from top 1% NW families.

The quality of peers and the network you got from ivies far exceeds those from Chicago and JHU.  [/quote]

WashU has 22% of students from top 1% Net Worth families, highest among the T20 schools
Based on this (flawed?) criteria, WashU must have higher quality of peer and network, exceeding any other T20 schools, including all 8 Ivy League schools.

Granted data from 2017 is old and there have been some changes that WashU admins are pushing (i.e. increase % Pell Grant recipients, for USNWR ranking purpose), but overall WashU is still considered to have the richest student body, although very few on campus flaunt it. Certainly there are no 'eating clubs' or 'final clubs' at WashU that separate along SES lines. Folks on campus are 'midwest' friendly, collaborative and inclusive in all aspects.

Further, look at the NYT list. There are at least a dozen of non Ivy League T65 schools which have at least 20% of students from top 1% Net Worth families, outranking all 8 Ivy League schools. I would seriously doubt that this parameter is a good metric in measuring brand quality of schools.[/quote]
