[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bet my kids' connections from their private feeder NYC school will be as valuable as their connections from HYP.  If they want to reach out to a "dad of a friend" to get that internship in a hedge fund, etc, it will be coming from their high school buddies. They know the parents, the parents know them. Much more willing to help etc.

Which is the better combo long term: Andover + UC Davis or good suburban high school + Princeton. Possibly the first. If it were Trinity + UC Davis, def Trinity. The day school kids have a ton of connections among other top tier privates and all those parents. [/quote]

I think it depends on the kid and situation. Personally DH and I are bosses to those who went to boarding schools mentioned on this board. They went to non ivy colleges and non ivy law schools. DH and I are both public HS, ivy and ivy law. We don’t sit around talking about our Ivy connections but my observation over the years is that the boarding school grads talk about their HS school experience often but professionally we have been more successful (we all started off at the same level years ago)  I’m sure it can go the other way too!
