[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The hack to getting into rich friend groups is being a graduate of Groton or Exeter. Otherwise, you'll just need to be like the rest of us (how awful, I know)[/quote]

Agree. 
Yes, there’s definite tiering to college friend groups.

Your first tier is top boarding schools.
Tier down is certain other private/prep schools (along with the kids of CEO /hedge fund/PE/banker parents bc kids want jobs)
Further down is public high school but full pay
Below that is financial aid kids of any amount.
Bottom is FGLI/questbridge etc.

Read about real experiences on Reddit if you doubt it.

One of the most popular icebreakers for new student orientation/dorms is “where do you summer” or where did you vacation post-graduation. Followed by country club geography.[/quote]

My DC is at an expensive private on west coast. The first three groups interact with each other. And even though statistically 30 percent of the population is the bottom two groups, they don’t hang out with anyone from those groups. [b]Some of it may be economically related, idk, ie can they pay their way on the weekend ski trip, pay for Coachella etc.[/b] [/quote]

That’s the biggest factor. With wealth socializing moves off campus. It’s another form of suitcase school. doesn’t have to be overt exclusion.[/quote]

It's not just ivies. At least for ivies, kids mix in dorms. At large flagships, there are private luxury off campus apartments that segregate housing by income from the get go[/quote]
