[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know there are strivers from all over the world at the Ivys, but I heard the largest, most social bunches are NE, NYC, California private school kids that sort of know each other going in, making it a challenge for unconnected random kids. My colleague's daughter went to Brown because she wanted to start fresh, but then transferred to UVA because she struggled to make good bonds. In retrospect she preferred knowing a lot of people on campus. Wondering if that's a common complaint.[/quote]

UVA (and Georgetown) are the schools where rich ambitious white kids who could not make it to the ivies go. They tend to be even more elitist and preppy than the ivies, but without the talent to back it up. Would imagine it is harder to make friends there than the ivies.   [/quote]

No dog in this fight (i.e., double Ivy with no ties to UVA), but this is BS.  I know of plenty of people who turn down Ivies - particularly Brown, Cornell and Penn - to attend UVA. Some are preppy, but many are not and all are smart.[/quote]
