[quote=Anonymous]Interesting how the coasts differ (or not). We’re in LA and I would say most of the UC people here do/have:

-Lots of extracurriculars - ballet, swim team, tennis, gymnastics, soccer, surfing (NOT football)
-Music lessons (starting out on either violin and piano)
-House filles with books, art supplies, original art (no art posters)
-Membership at private beach club and country/swim/tennis club
-Spend weekends at aforementioned beach clubs, museums, hiking 
-Vacations to Utah or Colorado to ski, Europe once or twice a year, Hawaii, the Caribbean, NYC for Broadway
-Nannies and housekeepers (bonus points for live in housekeeper)
-We don’t really do sleep away camp (except URJ camps) but surf camp, music camp, and sports camps (up to two weeks) are popular UC activities
-Private schools and college expectations
-Fresh food for meals - grocery shopping at farmers markets and gourmet food stores
-Fancy cars (range rovers are very popular - your car is your life)
-Fitness (fancy workout classes/Peleton/SoulCycle/Yoga/Pilates)
-Good skin
