[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in a really wealthy area and it’s surprisingly not that competitive about  college admissions. Top ranked public school, average house now over 2.5m in our district and people just want their kids to get into state schools. A small handful go on to more prestigious universities but for the most part people go to middle of the road schools and don’t stress about it. Top 5 % kids go to Georgia or Michigan. Duke and UCLA would be considered elite. [/quote]

People with generational wealth don't really care that much about college pedigrees. Most often, it's because they themselves are the beneficiaries of generational wealth. They didn't have to do anything, so why should their kids and grandkids have to do hard things?

I used to live in Pebble Beach. The genuine wealth - it's family money. It's not earned. No one worked hard for it. And the wealth continues to grow because they have professionals taking care of it. And in that world, SMU and TCU are elite. [/quote]

Nobody in Pebble Beach even gives one second of thought to SMU or TCU.  You need better examples…because those are terrible.

There are plenty with multiple generations attending Stanford.[/quote]

Oh good lord. None of those Pebble Beach kids are getting into Stanford.

And we are a multigenerational Stanford family .

You don't want to go there regardless in 2024. [/quote]

Regardless…nobody from Pebble Beach is sending their kids to TCU or SMU.  Those are idiotic examples.[/quote]

Tons of rich Californians at SMU and TCU. [/quote]

Stop…just stop.  There aren’t.  Why anyone is persisting with this is beyond bizarre.

Maybe produce one iota of evidence…of which there is none.

TCU is the most ridiculous.  Look at their CDS and you will see they have a big drop in applications and a tiny percentage OOS.  But sure…that small percentage is all rich Californians.[/quote]

More than 50% of TCU students are from out-of-state. [/quote]
