[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recent Ivy grad here from the DC area. I went to a non-W public school in Montgomery County and was distinctly unimpressed by many students coming from independent schools, both in DC and elsewhere. They were, most often, entirely unremarkable students who had just developed strong study skills through years of private schooling. Friends who went to Andover/St. Pauls-type boarding schools regularly got in with a 3.4-3.6 GPA and good but not stellar SATs and no hook-i.e. they were pumpernickel white or from upper-middle class Jewish families. [/quote] Um, thanks for the insights. I'm sure your "friends" would love how you describe them. Hint: Don't be this arrogant in job interviews, kid.[/quote]
