[quote=Anonymous]At our private nyc school, people know one reason for paying for the school is not just education, but connections. We have a few kids who, against the advice of counselors, will apply after getting in via SCEA or Questbridge. As often as not, they dont end up getting anything better, but even if they did: they've fumbled some of the social capital they built during HS or even k-12 sometimes. Which is a big hit. The rich families play a very different game - SCEA or ED to their own legacy school and call it a day. Don't get in the way of the other rich kids (who may not be old money, may not be legacy). Praise and party all the kids no matter where they go. It's all about keeping those connections strong after leaving the high school. That's who you're calling to get an internships a summer or two later! [/quote]
